What to Consider About Memory Care in Elk Grove

In California, the Community Care Licensing Division of the Department of Social Services regulates memory care communities. The division's duties include performing regular audits of each licensed memory care provider and investigating the complaints of residents or their family members to ensure health and safety standard compliance.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Elk Grove

 

  • Elk Grove's low crime rates may give families peace of mind. Residents of the city experience violent crimes at a rate of 2.29 events per 1,000 people — much lower than California's average of 4.4 violent crimes. Property crimes also occur infrequently, with 17 out of 1,000 people experiencing this type of crime vs. an average of 24 in California and 19 nationwide.

 

  • The overall cost of living trends high in Elk Grove. However, it's important to note that housing costs sit 80% above the norm, driving average expenses up significantly. Groceries and utilities, in comparison, only cost 6% more in the city than the national average.

 

 

  • Elk Grove's high physician density provides 206 physicians for every 100,000 residents — just about equivalent to the national average. Health care costs nearly 10% less than usual in the city, despite most goods and services edging higher than the norm.

 

  • Sacramento County's membership in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities ensures that city planners in Elk Grove consider the needs of seniors when devising infrastructure improvements. They do this through an action plan that coordinates solutions to problems Elk Grove's seniors experience.

 

  • Seniors can access about 33 hospitals within a 50-mile radius of Elk Grove. Many of these hospitals have won awards for outstanding patient care and surgical performance. For example, the John Muir Health Walnut Creek Medical Center holds awards for excellence in joint replacements, pulmonary care and overall patient experience.

 

  • Elk Grove receives mostly good ratings from the U.S. Air Quality Index, but pollution levels sometimes lower these ratings into the index's moderate category. Still, seniors in memory care spend a lot of time indoors, where staff can control air quality with filtration systems if needed.
