What to Consider About Memory Care in Norwalk

Situated on the northern shore of Long Island Sound, Norwalk, Connecticut, is a city of more than 89,000. Roughly 14.2 percent of Norwalk residents are age 65 and older, and some are part of the state's more than 75,000 seniors who have Alzheimer's disease. In the Norwalk area, more than a dozen memory care facilities are available to serve people in need of care for dementia other cognitive impairments. There are three memory care facilities, or Alzheimer's Special Care Units (SCUs), as they're known as in Connecticut, located within Norwalk itself, and an additional 10 in surrounding communities. All are licensed by the state's Department of Public Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Norwalk

  • On a scale of one to 100, with 100 the highest, the rates of violent crime and property crime in Norwalk score a 29.5 and 32.3 respectively, lower than the corresponding U.S. national averages of 31.1 and 38.1. In fact, the Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk metropolitan area is ranked as the second-safest midsized metropolitan area in America. This fact may provide peace of mind for families with a loved one living in a memory care facility in the area.

  • Norwalk is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as Norwalk Hospital, home to an award-winning neurology and stroke center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Compared with other cities across the state of Connecticut, Norwalk has a more temperate climate. Overall, the Norwalk area scores a 51 out of a possible 100 on Sperling's Comfort Index, but winter temperatures can drop into the low 20s, and the amount of snowfall averages 33 inches per year. Families may want to consult with prospective memory care facilities to ensure they have proper measures in place to keep residents safe during the winter months.
