Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Mandeville

 

  • Mandeville's winter climate scores 7.8 on a 10-point comfort index. January lows average about 40, and there is typically no snow. Fall and spring months are even more comfortable. Summers, however, can be hot and humid, but seniors who live in memory care communities enjoy air-conditioned environments that keep them comfortable even in the hottest weather.
  • Mandeville is a relatively safe city with violent crime and property crime rates below the U.S. average. Violent crime is low at 13.4 out of 100 points. The national average is 22.7. Property crime also falls below average at 32.7 compared to 35.4. These statistics can provide peace of mind for seniors and their families, but memory care communities offer additional security to keep residents safe.
  • The cost of living in Mandeville is somewhat high. At 104.1, Mandeville's score tops the U.S. average of 100 and the Louisiana average of 89.9. While this can be a concern for many seniors, Louisiana offers the Community Choices Waiver program that provides financial assistance so that seniors can obtain the care they need.
  • Mandeville's health care costs come in below the national average at 95.3 on the health cost index. This means the city's residents typically pay 4.7% less for health care than the average U.S. citizen. Mandeville's seniors can also choose from a greater number of physicians per capita than average.
  • The St. Tammany Parish Hospital in nearby Covington serves residents of Mandeville. This full-service medical center provides cardiology, surgery, cancer care and orthopedics among its many specialties.
