What to Consider About Memory Care in Tracy

California's Community Care Licensing Division regulates memory care communities in Tracy and the rest of the state. Beyond enforcing health and safety rules, the agency investigates complaints about care quality to protect seniors' rights.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Tracy

  • In Tracy, property crime has steadily dropped in recent years, according to the FBI. For added peace of mind, memory care communities typically have security cameras and monitored entrances to protect residents.
  • The weather in Tracy ranges from hot and dry to somewhat cold and wet. Summers see highs around 92 degrees Fahrenheit in July, while winter temperatures drop to around 40 degrees Fahrenheit in December. Winter is also the area's rainy season, although total monthly rainfall typically stays below 4 inches. Many memory care communities have extensive indoor activities to keep residents busy during poor weather.
  • According to California's State Fire Marshal, many regions surrounding Tracy have a moderate wildfire risk. This could be concerning for some seniors and families, and it could negatively impact Tracy's air quality. However, many memory care communities have fire safety plans and air filtration systems to protect residents during emergencies.
     
  • The cost of living in Tracy is about 22% higher than the U.S. norm. Additionally, California's state income taxes are higher than average, ranging from 1% to 12.3%. This may be concerning for some seniors and families, but there are financial perks that may offset some of these higher costs. The state offers tax exemptions for Social Security benefits, and Sutter Tracy Community Hospital provides free or reduced-cost care to qualifying individuals.
  • Data from the Environmental Protection Agency shows that many water systems in Tracy exhibit impairment, which can negatively impact the safety of tap water. However, memory care communities may use water filter systems to protect residents against contaminants.
