What to Consider About Memory Care in Laguna Woods

Lush and warm Laguna Woods is located in Orange County, south of Los Angeles. California has over over 650,000 diagnosed Alzheimer's patients, many of whom will require treatment in a memory care facility. Out of a population of 16,000, 83 percent of Laguna Woods' residents are seniors aged 65 and over and a portion lives with dementia.

Most of Laguna Woods' population live in the gated retirement community of Laguna Woods Village. There are no memory care facilities in the city, but over a dozen are in the county. Memory care facilities in California, whether stand-alone Alzheimer's Care homes or separate wings in a larger assisted living facility are regulated by the state's Department of Social Services

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Laguna Woods

  • Laguna Woods is warm all year, with breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean to keep temperatures from reaching into the triple digits. Winters are mild with little snow. Seniors in memory care with health conditions alleviated by warm weather should find relief here. 
  • Air quality in Laguna Woods is affected by nearby Los Angeles, which has some of the highest pollution and ozone levels in the nation. The American Lung Association ranks the LA area as one of the ten most-polluted cities in several different categories. Those in memory care with chronic respiratory conditions should take this into account. 
  • The cost of living in Laguna Woods is higher than the national average, mostly due to housing costs that are double the rest of the country's. Most of the homes in the city are part of the master-planned retirement community, making Laguna Woods one of the more affordable suburbs in Orange County. 
  • The Orange County area, including Laguna Woods, is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as the Hoag Hospital and the UC - Irvine Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
