What to Consider About Memory Care in Eureka

Eureka is a historic tourist town on California's north coast with only 27,000 full-time residents, and 15.5 percent of them are seniors age 65 and older. However, the city and its surroundings are home to two dedicated memory care facilities for seniors with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's chorea, advanced forms of Parkinson's disease or other types of dementia.

Seniors who live in these facilities get full-time help from staff with their personal care needs, as well as with taking medication and following their doctors' treatment plans. Some facilities provide physical and mental therapy and many have connections with local assisted living communities. All residential care facilities in California are licensed through the California Department of Social Services Adult Care Licensing program, which periodically inspects assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care facilities statewide.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Eureka

  • The northern coast of California can be cold and wet sometimes. Eureka's climate averages highs of 64 degrees in summer and lows of 41 in winter, though the daily average temperatures stay close to constant year round. Eureka gets a hefty 43 inches of rain annually, and tree pollen can drift in from the surrounding forest to cause issues for seniors with asthma or COPD.
  • Eurkeka's cost of living is only 5 percent higher than the average cost nationwide. California's general cost of living is 69 percent above the national figure, so Eureka can be very affordable by the state's standards. Healthcare in Eureka averages just 96 percent of the average cost nationwide.
  • Eureka has a very low rate of violent crime, but its overall crime rate is double the national average. This is because theft is very common in the area, though seniors in memory care usually have staff who can help keep them safe.
  • The Eureka area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as Mad River Community Hospital and Redwood Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
