What to Consider About Memory Care in Grand Traverse County

Grand Traverse County, which is home to almost 92,000 residents, nearly one in five of whom are aged 65 and over, is located in the northwestern region of Michigan's lower peninsula. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, about 11.8 percent of seniors on Medicare are living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia.  

There are two memory care facilities in Grand Traverse County. In this county, as in the rest of Michigan, memory care services are generally provided within assisted living facilities. These facilities are officially called homes for the aged, and they are licensed and monitored by the Department of Human Services. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Seniors in Grand Traverse County do not pay state income tax on their Social Security benefits. While all other types of retirement income are taxable, the state provides a large deduction to offset this expense. This may allow for more money to be budgeted toward memory care services in Grand Traverse County. 
  • Grand Traverse County has comfortable summers with highs around 80 degrees, and the region receives about 32 inches of rain annually, which is several inches below the national average. Winters in this county are harsh, with lows in the teens and an average of 116 inches of annual snowfall. This can make winter travel very difficult for families visiting loved ones in memory care.
  • While the violent crime rate in Grand Traverse County is a little higher than the national median, property crime rates are lower. As they're touring local memory care facilities, families may want to find out what security measures are taken to protect residents. 
  • The overall cost of living in Grand Traverse County is a little higher than the state average, though it is on par with the national average. Healthcare expenses are fairly low here at about 16 percent below the national average and about 3 percent lower than the state average, which may help families afford expenses associated with managing a chronic condition like Alzheimer's disease.
