What to Consider About Memory Care in Foster City
Foster City is a safe, master-planned community considered part of the San Francisco Bay Area in California. California estimates that over 650,000 of its residents have Alzheimer's Disease or dementia. Many of these folks receive supervision and treatment in memory care facilities. Foster City, with 16 percent of its population of 34,000 comprising seniors aged 65 and older, has over a dozen memory care facilities.
The California Department of Social Services regulates and licenses memory care facilities, both those exclusively dedicated to dementia treatment and those that are a separate part of a larger assisted living community.
- Residents of Foster City enjoy moderate temperatures year-round, with breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean to help regulate temperatures even in the summer; July high temperatures average in the mid-70s. Winters are cool with no snow and January temperatures in the mid-40s. Seniors in memory care with health conditions aggravated by extreme weather may be more comfortable here.
- San Francisco has very poor air quality according to the American Lung Association. Foster City residents are affected, as well, due to their proximity to the metro area. Those in memory care with chronic respiratory conditions should take this into account.
- The cost of living in Foster City is very high, mainly due to housing costs at nearly nine times the national average. These high housing costs may affect memory care fees, as the cost of doing business for many of these places may increase. Groceries and health care, both important for seniors, are right around the national average.
- The San Francisco area, including Foster City, is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as the San Francisco Brain Health Center - California Pacific Medical Center and the University of California - San Francisco Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
