What to Consider About Memory Care in Oroville

The California Department of Social Services houses the Community Care Licensing Program, which provides oversight for all memory care communities in Oroville and the rest of California. This department sets minimum licensing regulations related to care planning, dementia-focused treatment and security measures, and it conducts routine inspections to observe day-to-day operations.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Oroville

 

  • Oroville Hospital sits in Oroville proper and serves memory care residents as a community hospital with dozens of specialties. It has neurology specialists who diagnose and treat neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s, and it offers teleneurology services to promote convenient access to care.

 

  • Out of California’s 58 ranked communities, Oroville’s Butte County rates 32nd in the state for general health. Only 45% of Medicare beneficiaries get an annual flu shot, which may negatively impact infection control measures in memory care communities, and the average life expectancy comes in at 77.6 years, about a year less than the national norm. Fortunately, many memory care communities have on-site wellness services and staff nurses who provide prompt medical support as needed.

 

  • Seniors in California pay state income taxes at rates of up to 13.3% on most forms of retirement income, including withdrawals from retirement accounts and public and private pension income. However, the state doesn’t tax Social Security benefits, and it lets seniors claim double the standard personal exemption through the senior income tax exemption, helping some older adults afford local memory care rates.

 

  • In Oroville, residents spend about 11% more on living expenses than residents in typical U.S. cities, impacting affordability for those considering this city for residential memory care. Although housing, food and utility expenses run high, many memory care communities have flexible payment plans and surprise-free all-inclusive pricing structures to support access to residential care.

 

  • Oroville’s crime rate ranks among the highest in the nation, surpassing rates in 97% of U.S. communities. The city records 47 crimes per 1,000 residents, which runs high even when compared exclusively to similarly sized cities. The city has relatively low-crime neighborhoods for prospective memory care residents and families with safety concerns, including the Mount Ida Road/Miners Ranch Road area and Kelly Ridge.
