Note: Residential memory care is usually offered in assisted living facilities, and in general, memory care rates tend to be 20-30% higher than assisted living rates.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Hesperia

In Hesperia, memory care communities obtain licensing as residential care facilities for the elderly through the California Department of Social Services, Senior Care Licensing Program. This program enforces minimum standards for care planning, staffing and dementia-informed services, which it monitors through regular inspections and by investigating complaints.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Hesperia

  • On the AARP Livability Index, Hesperia rates among the lowest cities in the nation for favorability for seniors, with a score of 44. The city reports an above average number of areas with health care worker shortages, rating 15.4 on a 25-point index compared to 12 nationally, and its preventable hospitalization rate surpasses the national norm at 40 incidents per 1,000 patients. To minimize the impact of these drawbacks, many memory care units have licensed physicians on call to oversee routine medical services.
  • Hesperia’s cost of living comes in 15% above the national average, mainly due to the high utility costs in this city. By opting for residential dementia services, many seniors take advantage of all-inclusive pricing structures that eliminate the risk of unexpectedly high energy bills. Additionally, income-qualified individuals who meet the criteria for nursing home care may be able to pay for services through the state’s Assisted Living Waiver, depending on a facility’s policies, as well as waiver enrollment caps.
  • Hesperia seniors experience warm temperatures throughout the year, with daytime temperatures ranging from 56 degrees Fahrenheit in December to 95 degrees Fahrenheit in the warmest part of July. Extreme temperatures in this city may drop as low as 26 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter or rise as high as 101 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. Fortunately, many memory care communities have unit-controlled thermostats to help residents maintain a comfortable climate regardless of outdoor temperatures.
  • Seniors in Hesperia don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits, saving money for those who rely mainly on this income source to fund their retirement. While older adults pay taxes to the state on other forms of income at rates of up to 13.3%, the senior income tax exemption helps reduce this burden.
  • Compared to other U.S. cities with its population size, Hesperia’s crime rate runs lower than average, providing peace of mind to seniors and families researching local memory care options. Per 1,000 residents, the city sees about 20 crimes, nearly three-quarters of which are property-related.
  • Hesperia's overall cost of living is nearly 20 percent higher than the average U.S. city, which may affect the cost of care and the cost of room and board in memory care facilities. Those who have a limited budget for memory care may want to consider less expensive cities in California.
  • California's state income taxes are among the highest in the country and the state taxes all forms of retirement income including pension and retirement savings. Paying a large portion of income into taxes might leave budgets too tight for some families to pay for memory care.
  • The air quality is poor in Hesperia, which may exacerbate chronic respiratory conditions for some seniors and other vulnerable members of the population. According to the American Lung Association, Hesperia's air has high levels of both ozone and particle pollution and has been assigned a failing grade.
  • The Hesperia area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those that specialize in brain health and dementia care, such as Desert Valley Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
