The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Rochester Hills, MI for 2024

 

Alzheimer's disease affects 190,000 seniors in Michigan, costing Medicaid $1.5 billion. While the condition is known for its effects on memory and cognitive abilities, it also carries a high mortality rate, often partially due to a lack of quality dementia care. Approximately 16.8% of the 75,936 people living in Rochester Hills are aged 65+, and deaths from Alzheimer's in this population have risen by 17.06% between 2016 and 2020, according to CDC data.

One way for families in Rochester Hills to help loved ones live comfortably with Alzheimer's is to arrange for memory care. Facilities offering this type of care provide a structured daily schedule and stimulating activities, such as music therapy and puzzles, that may help slow disease progression. Staff is trained to use special communication strategies to calm residents and can recognize signs of mental deterioration, alerting families and medical professionals to these changes.

This guide covers the costs, benefits and drawbacks associated with memory care in Rochester Hills. It also includes information about financial assistance and some free resources for families.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Rochester Hills

The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs regulates memory care facilities in Rochester Hills and the rest of Michigan. The agency licenses facilities, performs inspections and reviews them regularly to ensure providers meet the minimum quality standards for staff training, food service and resident safety.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Rochester Hills

 

  • Rochester Hills has low crime rates, which can help put families' minds at ease. When measured on a 100-point scale, violent crime comes in at 8.9 for the city, which is much lower than the national average of 22.7. Property crimes rank at 15.7 — less than half the U.S. average of 35.4. Additionally, memory care facilities typically have 24/7 staffing and extra security features that can further improve safety for residents.
  • Rochester Hills has a fairly mild climate. The average low temperature in January is 15.7 degrees, which is just below the national average of 21.7 degrees, and the region also experiences 5 more inches of snow annually. However, while winters are slightly colder than average, summers are also a little cooler, with typical high temperatures 3.5‬ degrees below the national average, helping seniors stay cool throughout the warm season.
  • Health care is highly accessible and affordable in Rochester Hills. Costs are 17.3‬% less than the national average, and the city has 454 physicians per 100,000 people, compared to 210 on average across the nation. These qualities can make the city ideal for seniors with health conditions requiring ongoing treatment.
  • Air quality varies in Rochester Hills but generally falls into the good or moderate U.S. Air Quality Index categories. Seniors sensitive to air quality changes can stay comfortable by wearing masks outdoors, closing windows and running an air purifier. 
  • Rochester Hills has a relatively high cost of living. When measured on a 100-point index (where the U.S. average is 100), the city's overall cost of living is 112.7, with transportation at 119.3 and entertainment at 125.1. However, most expenses are usually included in the monthly fees for a memory care facility, limiting the need to buy anything extra.
  • Rochester Hills is home to the Ascension Providence Rochester Hospital — recognized as one of the best hospitals for coronary interventions in the United States. As a full-service hospital, it provides access to many types of care without extensive travel.
