What to Consider About Memory Care in Vernon

Vernon, Arizona, is a Census-designated place located in the high country adjacent to the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. Due to the community's sizable population of older adults, who represent 25 percent of the community's 122 residents, dementia and Alzheimer's disease are important local health issues. According to state estimates, more than 1,200 adults in Apache County will be living with dementia or Alzheimer's by 2020.

Although Vernon is a small community, it's home to the only memory care facility in Apache County. In Vernon and all parts of the state, specially licensed assisted living centers and smaller assisted living homes may offer directed care services to dementia patients who require around-the-clock supervision. All directed care facilities are regulated by the Arizona Department of Health Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Vernon

  • Located among Arizona's White Mountains, Vernon has an average elevation above 6,900 feet, which affects the local climate. The community receives 60 inches of snow and 275 days of sunshine annually. Additionally, temperatures vary widely. To protect residents, memory care facilities must be prepared for all types of weather.
  • The Vernon area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness. The nearest major hospitals specializing in brain health and dementia care are Summit Healthcare in Show Low and the White Mountain Medical Center in Springerville, both of which are 30 minutes from Vernon.
  • Vernon has a competitive cost of living that's 23 points lower than Arizona's average. Although groceries and health care are almost 10 percent more expensive than the U.S. median, most other essentials, including housing, are more affordable, which can reduce the cost of memory care and similar services.
  • The affordability of memory care is also affected by Arizona's tax rates. The state has a moderately high sales tax on most items, including groceries. However, it never taxes Social Security, and it offers a modest per-person deduction on retirement income.
