What to Consider About Memory Care in Morgan County

Morgan County, situated along the Tennessee River in the extreme northern region of Alabama, has a population of 119,000 people. The senior community in this county makes up about 17 percent of the population, and it's projected that about 13 percent of these seniors who receive Medicare benefits have Alzheimer's disease or dementia. These seniors and their families are served by the Alabama Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, which provides resources and support.

Morgan County has two memory care facilities, both of which are in the city of Decatur. These memory care facilities are located within specialty care assisted living facilities that have obtained licensing from the Department of Public Health and certification from the Board of Health. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Morgan County has exceptional air quality, receiving an A for both ozone pollution and short-term particle pollution, including a passing score for annual particle pollution, from the American Lung Association. The county's clean air may benefit seniors, particularly those with cardiovascular or respiratory conditions. 
  • Summers in Morgan County are warm with highs near 90 degrees, and winters are chilly with lows near 30 degrees. The region receives just 1 inch of annual snowfall, which may appeal to families who travel to Morgan County throughout the year to visit loved ones in local memory care facilities.
  • Morgan County's overall cost of living is a little below state and national averages. Housing and utilities are affordable here, which may result in lower memory care expenses. Healthcare expenses are a little higher than the national average but lower than the state average.
  • Alabama does not subject Social Security income or disbursements from public or private pensions to state income tax, meaning that seniors who draw income solely from these sources only pay federal income tax. Withdrawals from retirement accounts are taxable, which may affect how much money can go toward memory care expenses.

Paying for Memory Care in Morgan County
