What to Consider About Memory Care in Fremont
The Alzheimer's Association estimates that approximately 650,000 Californians are living with Alzheimer's, a disease that primarily affects those age 65 and over. In the city of Fremont, roughly 12 percent of the 235,000-person population is 65 and over. To serve those with dementia, Alameda County provides a variety of resources, including Alzheimer Services of the East Bay, which provides services for those with dementia and support for their family members, as well as the Health Insurance Counseling & Advocacy Program, which offers counseling and legal assistance with Medicare.
In addition to these resources, the Fremont area has more than two dozen memory care facilities. Two of these facilities are located in the city, while another 24 are found in nearby cities like Sunnyvale and Santa Clara. Most of these are located within residential care facilities for the elderly, and all are monitored by the Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division.
- The overall cost of living in Fremont is significantly higher than the national average, largely due to the high cost of housing. This can impact the cost of room and board in a memory care facility. Healthcare costs are about 2 percent below the national average, however, which may help seniors afford the costs of managing a long-term illness like dementia.
- The air quality in Fremont is poor, which may be a consideration for seniors with cardiovascular disease or lung diseases like COPD or asthma. The American Lung Association gave Alameda County an F for ozone pollution and a C for short-term particle pollution.
- While Social Security benefits are not taxable in California, all other forms of retirement income are, including 401(k) withdrawals and disbursements from public and private pensions. This may affect how much money seniors can put toward memory care.
- Fremont has a comfortable climate year round, which may appeal to seniors who enjoy being outdoors. July highs are near 80 degrees and January lows are in the low-40s, and the area generally receives no snow.
