What to Consider About Memory Care in Sheboygan

In Sheboygan, memory care facilities are officially licensed as assisted living facilities, and they’re regulated through the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Bureau of Assisted Living. This department enforces dementia-specific standards for staffing, staff training and security to promote a consistently high standard of care for residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Sheboygan

  • Seniors in Sheboygan don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits. While private pension income, some public pension income and distributions from retirement savings accounts are taxable, seniors can reduce what they owe through the state’s retirement income exclusion. This may help some seniors afford local dementia care costs.
  • Sheboygan is a member of the AARP Age-Friendly Network, which means its leaders have taken steps to create a safe and welcoming environment for older adults, including those with dementia. It has a livability score of 61, putting it in the top half of U.S. communities for high patient satisfaction rates, transportation amenities and access to grocery stores.
  • The overall cost of living in Sheboygan is about 20% below the national norm and 10 percentage points lower than the Wisconsin average. Housing costs are particularly low in this city, as are groceries, utilities and transportation expenses. This may drive down the cost of residential dementia care.
  • On a 100-point crime index that assigns higher scores to cities with more incidents of crime, the city scores 16.8 for violent crime and 34.3 for property-related offenses. By comparison, the respective national scores are higher at 22.7 and 35.4, which may make Sheboygan an attractive option for seniors and families seeking memory care in eastern Wisconsin.
  • Two hospitals are in Sheboygan, including Aurora Medical Center – Sheboygan County and HSHS St. Nicholas Hospital. While the city has a comparatively low number of doctors per capita, with a rate of 154 versus 210 nationally, many memory care facilities have on-call physicians to prevent gaps in residents’ care.
