What to Consider About Memory Care in Northridge
Northridge is a small town just northwest of Los Angeles, in the largest urban area in the state. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 40 million people live in California, 15 percent of them are seniors over the age of 65 and at least 650,000 people in the state have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Many people with Alzheimer's, Huntington's disease and other forms of dementia live in memory care facilities, where trained staff can look after their needs and help them follow their treatment programs.
California's memory care facilities are often located on or near the grounds of existing assisted living communities. Both types of facilities are sometimes known as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs), by the California Department of Health and Human Services, which regulates and inspects long-term care communities throughout the state. Northridge has 40 licensed memory care facilities, where seniors who need close monitoring can get supervision, prepared meals and medication prescribed by their doctors.
- The weather in Northridge is one of the chief attractions that draws people here. Long, hot summers rise to an average of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and winter lows rarely get below 41 degrees, which is good for seniors who like to spend time outdoors. Northridge gets just 17 inches of rain per year.
- The region around Northridge has a relatively high cost of living. Overall prices run up to 60 percent higher than the national average, while in specific sectors, such as healthcare, seniors in memory care may pay 9 or 10 percent above the typical national rate.
