What to Consider About Memory Care in Lee County

In Lee County, seniors over the age of 65 make up 11.5 percent of the population and 7 to 8 percent of those in the Medicare population have Alzheimer’s disease. There are two specialized memory care facilities in Lee County that are well-equipped to care for Alzheimer's and dementia patients.

Lee County supports senior citizens with four different senior centers open to residents over 60, and The Lee County Sheriff’s Office participates in Project Lifesaver, a program which provides a special transmitter device to memory care patients. The device can be worn on the wrist or ankle, allowing law enforcement to quickly locate a patient.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Though the winters are mild, providing lots of opportunities for supervised outdoor recreation, summers in Lee County are often hot and humid. Make sure the facilities you are considering are able to keep your loved one comfortable year round.
  • When it comes to crime, Lee County has a low violent crime rate with a score of only 18.1 compared to a national average of 31.1. However, its property crime rate is high with a score of 44.3, compared to the U.S. average of 38.1. Memory care facilities are equipped with security features to keep residents safe, but it's still a good idea to find out what measures prospective facilities take to keep seniors' belongings secure. 
  • Lee County has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital specializing in brain health and dementia care located in Opelika.
  • The cost of living in the Auburn-Opelika metro area is slightly lower than the national average, mostly due to an average home price of only $181,700. This may be evident is the cost of memory care facilities in the area. Healthcare costs in Lee County, however, are a few points higher (104)  than the national average (100).
