What to Consider About Memory Care in Stafford

Stafford's population of 46,690 includes 4,669 seniors aged 65 and up, some of whom have Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Statewide,140,000 Virginia seniors currently have Alzheimer's disease, and that figure is expected to rise nearly 190,000 by 2025, according to the Alzheimer's Association.

The state of Virginia refers to facilities intended for patients with cognitive conditions as special care units. They must abide by special staffing and administrative rules and be licensed by the Virginia Department of Social Services. Virginia Beach is home to two special care units, and 14 others are in the neighboring communities of Woodbridge and Fredericksburg.

The average number of sunny days is 198, lower than the U.S. average of 205. The yearly high and low temperatures vary by 63 degrees with summer temps reaching 88 and wintry lows dropping to 25. The Sperling's Comfort Index for Stafford is 51 out of 100, which is only 3 points above the national average of 54. Such pleasant weather is attractive to seniors with arthritis seeking relief from swollen joints.
  • Stafford is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as Mary Washington Healthcare and Mary Washington Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Virginia is considered a tax-friendly state for residents 65 and older who are able to deduct up to $12,000 per person of income. Social Security benefits are not taxed, and Virginia's property taxes are low. The regulations provide special rates for seniors, and sales tax is low. These tax saving may help families and seniors better afford memory care in Stafford.
  • On a cost of living index based on a U.S. average of 100, Stafford's index is 123.9, so it's around 24 percent more expensive than other parts of the country. If the tax savings in the state aren't enough to offset the cost of living, then families looking for affordable memory care may need to look elsewhere.
