Seniors comprise 12.7% of Woodbury's population of 78,561, and it's reported that up to 1 in 3 people aged 65+ die from Alzheimer's disease across the United States. While the Alzheimer's mortality rate remained stable in Woodbury, with no increase from 2016 to 2020, it's still important for families to consider appropriate dementia care for loved ones with Alzheimer's.

Memory care communities help improve the quality of life of seniors living with dementia by providing a safe environment and structured routine. The staff in these residences not only assist seniors with activities of daily living but also ensure they receive nutritious meals and frequent health assessments. Some communities even have on-site physicians and licensed nurses for non-emergency medical needs.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Woodbury

The Health Regulation Division — part of Minnesota's Department of Health — licenses memory care providers and other types of senior communities in Woodbury. Providers must adhere to minimum health and safety practices standards as part of this license, and families can report violations directly to the Department of Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Woodbury

 

  • Woodbury's overall cost of living trends sit at 16% above the national norm, but much of this steep cost stems from 51% higher-than-usual housing prices. Health care expenses exceed the U.S. average by 5%, and groceries cost 7% less.

 

  • Low crime rates make Woodbury safer than 86% of other cities nationwide. Only about 15.3 people out of every 1,000 experience a crime in Woodbury each year, earning the city an A rating from CrimeGrade.

 

  • Summer temperatures remain 4 degrees Fahrenheit below the national average of 85.8, but temperatures typically drop very low in winter, resulting in lows of 5.6 degrees Fahrenheit vs. the U.S. norm of 21.7. However, memory care communities usually have heating and air conditioning to maintain comfortable temperatures regardless of the weather. The UV index hits 3.1 across Woodbury, compared to 4.3 nationwide, benefiting seniors who enjoy spending time outdoors on warmer days.

 

 

  • The R.H. Stafford Library hosts monthly memory care café services in Woodbury. Families can visit these events alone to learn more about a loved one's Alzheimer's diagnosis and care options, or they can take seniors with them to socialize in a safe, relaxed environment.

 

  • Air quality sometimes dips into the moderate category of the U.S. Air Quality Index but typically sits in the good category, suggesting minimal problems for most people. The American Lung Association also assigns Woodbury a relatively good B rating for ozone levels.

Paying for Memory Care in Woodbury

Note: Residential memory care is usually offered in assisted living facilities, and in general, memory care rates tend to be 20-30% higher than assisted living rates. No national database currently tracks memory care costs in the United States, so we've estimated the monthly memory care costs listed below by adding 25% to the rates listed in Genworth's 2021 Cost of Care Survey.

Memory care rates average $6,454 per month in Woodbury.

The Cost of Memory Care in Nearby Cities
