The 3 Best Memory Care Facilities in Terre Haute, IN for 2024

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, one in nine seniors nationwide is living with Alzheimer's. While the organization predicts a significant increase in the number of Hoosiers diagnosed with this disease in coming years, creating the need for dementia care solutions, Terre Haute presents more optimistic trends. While the city has a large senior community that makes up 15% of its 58,000 residents, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that between 2016 and 2020, the number of deaths linked to Alzheimer’s dropped by 22%, even though the total number of deaths in the region climbed by 23% during this reporting period.

Despite this promising trend, managing dementia can take a significant toll on caregivers. Fortunately, the Terre Haute region has several memory care facilities that provide invaluable support. These facilities offer secured environments with dementia-informed recreational therapies, meal services and personal care services, promoting residents’ confidence and independence while ensuring close monitoring.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Terre Haute

The Indiana Department of Health, Division of Long Term Care, licenses all memory care facilities in Terre Haute through the Residential Care Facility Licensing and Certification Program. This program enforces rules related to care planning, dementia-specific intake and discharge procedures and staffing to ensure a consistent standard of care. It also investigates concerns regarding substandard conditions and care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Terre Haute

  • There are two hospitals in Terre Haute, including Union Hospital and Terre Haute Regional Hospital. Together, these hospitals provide access to Level III Trauma Center services, cancer care, rehabilitative therapies and geriatric care and over 500 inpatient and outpatient beds. Additionally, many memory care facilities in Terre Haute have dedicated office space for visiting physicians, promoting access to medical care with minimal disruption for residents.
  • Terre Haute has warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, and the skies are partly cloudy throughout the year. Daytime temperatures range from 76 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer months and 37 to 47 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter. To help residents stay comfortable, many memory care facilities host indoor activities throughout the year and offer amenities, such as individual climate controls.
  • Terre Haute is a part of the Dementia Friends Indiana initiative, which partners with the local Area Agency on Aging to provide information and support to those living with dementia. Through this organization, seniors and families can connect with support groups, early-stage engagement activities and memory cafés in the region.
  • The air quality in Vigo County, where Terre Haute is located, is very good and may support the health and comfort of seniors with dementia. The American Lung Association gives the county a passing score for its low number of high-particle days over an annual period, as well as an A for ozone pollution and a B for short-term particle pollution.  
  • Seniors in Terre Haute can obtain free transportation services through West Central’s Division of Area 7 Agency on Aging and Disabled Resources. This agency provides countywide transportation services to those aged 60 and over, helping them attend medical appointments. This can supplement paid services available through memory care facilities.
  • Indiana doesn’t impose an income tax on Social Security benefits, but pension income and withdrawals from retirement savings accounts are taxable at the state rate of 3.23%. The state's low income tax rate and exemption for Social Security may help some seniors afford memory care expenses in Terre Haute.
