What to Consider About Memory Care in Milwaukie

An estimated 65,000 seniors 65 and older suffer from Alzheimer's Disease or other dementia disorders in Oregon. In Milwaukie, a city of only 28,000 residents located in Clackamas County, more than 16 percent of the population is aged 65 and up. The need for memory care in cities such as Milwaukie is considerable. Luckily, seniors in the city who require such care can choose from three memory care facilities in the area, as well as an additional 28 in surrounding cities such as Portland and Happy Valley.

The Oregon Department of Human Services is responsible for regulating memory care facilities in the state, which are officially known as memory care communities. According to state regulations, although memory care and assisted living services may be provided in the same facility, a memory care community must be segregated from the remainder of the facility.

  • Only 1.39 violent crimes and 21.36 property crimes occur per 1,000 residents in the city annually. By comparison, the state sees an average of 2.65 violent crimes and 29.64 property crimes per 1,000 residents each year. Even with crime rates in Milwaukie being low, it's a good idea to discuss what security measures have been taken by memory care communities to keep residents safe.

  • Even though the overall cost of living in Milwaukie is more than 35 percent higher than the national average, seniors who require frequent medical care may find Milwaukie to be more affordable than many comparable cities in the area, as healthcare costs are actually 16 percent below the national average.
