What to Consider About Memory Care in Edwardsville

Currently, 220,000 Illinois seniors are living with Alzheimer's disease. The city of Edwardsville, located in Madison County, has a population of nearly 25,000, 11.2 percent of whom are aged 65 and older and may require daily assistance to manage their dementia.

This is a growing concern across Illinois as outlined in the Department of Public Health's Alzheimer's Disease State Plan, which emphasizes the importance of having Alzheimer's special care units available at assisted living, shared living and supportive living facilities. There is one facility in Edwardsville offering this specialized care and an additional 22 in surrounding communities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Edwardsville

  • Edwardsville experiences mild winters, with temperatures dropping to lows around 23 degrees and just 3 inches of snow expected in a season. However, summers are hot and humid, with temperatures climbing as high as 88 degrees. 
  • Based on the U.S. national average of 100, the cost of living in Edwardsville is rated 100.4. While slightly lower than the state average of 102, health and transportation costs are high. Families may want to keep this in mind when budgeting for memory care services.
  • Illinois seniors are not taxed on their Social Security benefits, pension income and income from retirement savings accounts, which may leave additional funds available to be put toward memory care.
  • low crime rate can offer peace of mind for families of loved ones with dementia. Out of a possible 100, with 100 being high crime, Edwardsville scores a 23.5 in terms of violent crime and a 26.6 for property crime, compared to scores of 31.1 and 38.1 seen on a national level in the same categories, respectively. Despite these low numbers, it's still a good idea to get a full overview of a facility's security policies and procedures.
