What to Consider About Memory Care in Agoura Hills
Agoura Hills straddles the border between Los Angeles and Ventura counties and has a population of 20,692, including 2,835 aged 65 and older. In L.A. County, 175,000 residents are living with Alzheimer's disease or a related memory impairment, and that figure is expected to increase to 275,000 by 2030.
To care for older adults with dementia, assisted living facilities must apply for a license and become a residential care facility for the elderly. They must also follow strict regulations and provide added security measures before admitting patients who have been diagnosed with any type of dementia. Agoura Hills and the surrounding area is home to more than a dozen memory care facilities that are regulated by the California Senior Care Licensing Program.
- The Agoura Hills area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as the UCLA Medical Center and the Los Robles Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illnesses.
- With a cost of living index above 225, residents of Agoura Hills spend 127 percent more on essential living expenses compared to the national average and nearly 60 percent more than other California residents. This is mainly due to the high cost of housing. Fortunately, healthcare rates are 15 percent lower than the U.S. average and 8 points below California's average, which may affect the affordability of services offered by RCFEs.
- In California, seniors do not have to pay income tax on their Social Security payments or Railroad Retirement benefits. However, all other sources of retirement income are taxed normally. This may affect the availability of funds needed for medical services or memory care.
- The number of property crimes and violent offenses in Agoura Hills is lower than the national and metropolitan averages. Still, families seeking memory care may want to ask about specific security safeguards offered by each facility that they're considering.
