Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Troy

 

  • As a northern suburb of Detroit, the city of Troy has abundant health care choices with over a dozen hospitals accessible within 10 miles. Beaumont Hospital Troy is a nationally-ranked, 530-bed general medical and surgical center boasting a high-performing neuroscience and neurosurgery department. In nearby metro Detroit, Henry Ford Hospital has led the way in neuroscience research and clinical trials, continuing to treat the most complex cases involving the brain and spine.
  • With many top-notch health care systems operating in and around Troy, it stands to reason the city offers lower-than-average health care costs and a high number of physicians per capita, adding up to potential savings for seniors. On a 100-point scale, health care costs rated 82.7.
  • The cost of living in Troy is 11% higher than the median nationwide, attributed largely to high housing and transportation costs. However, seniors living in memory care facilities often pay a flat monthly rate that negates these fluctuating costs, allowing them to more easily budget for long-term expenses.
  • Troy is considered a safe city with data showing instances of property crime and violent crime have been steadily declining over the years. The rate of violent crimes is approximately 60% lower and property crimes involving burglary and theft are 25% lower than the national average.
  • The climate in Troy is typical of the northern Midwest, offering 180 sunny days per year with slightly above-average rain and snowfall. The city is centrally located between the Great Lakes, leading to humid conditions in the summer and dry winters on occasion, but generally mild spring and fall seasons.
