What to Consider About Memory Care in Aliso Viejo

Aliso Viejo is in Orange County, where more than 84,000 people were living with dementia in 2018. Most of them were seniors age 65 or older. Although fewer than 10 percent of Aliso Viejo's approximately 50,000 residents belong to this age group, Aliso Viejo and its neighboring towns offer more than 170 memory facilities to serve seniors with dementia.

The California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, licenses memory care facilities in Aliso Viejo as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs). Facilities admitting persons diagnosed with dementia must meet special requirements for adequate supervision, enhanced safety and an appropriate activity program.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Aliso Viejo

  • According to Sperling's Best Places, Aliso Viejo has one of the most comfortable climates among all cities in the U.S. In an average year, the city receives 281 days of sunshine, only 14 inches of rain and no snow. The average July high temperature is 83 degrees Fahrenheit and the average January low temperature is 46 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  • Compared to national and state averages, Aliso Viejo has fewer property and violent crimes. With an overall crime rate of only nine crimes per 1,000 residents, Aliso Viejo is considered safer for seniors than 73 percent of cities nationally and 94 percent safer than the average for other communities in California.
  • Families may have to find ways to stretch their budgets to afford memory care in Aliso Viejo. Compared to the rest of the nation, Aliso Viejo's cost of living is more than 75 percent above the U.S. average.
  • State and local tax breaks can significantly impact seniors' budgets. In Aliso Viejo and throughout California, income from pensions and retirement accounts, such as 401(k) plans, is fully taxed. However, Social Security retirement benefits are exempt from the state tax, which may leave seniors with dementia more funds left over to help pay for memory care services.
