What to Consider About Memory Care in Redding
Redding, CA, is a city of 92,000 people in California's northern Central Valley. Almost 19 percent of Redding's population is 65 and over, and there are three memory care facilities for local seniors who've been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Dementia, Huntington's disease and advanced forms of Parkinson's. These facilities, called Residential Care for the Elderly, have to follow special provisions for dementia care. In California, memory care facilities are licensed through the state Department of Social Services.
- Redding's location in a rain shadow valley governs its weather, and it can get hot in summer and cold overnight in winter. August highs average 98 degrees Fahrenheit, which may be problematic for especially sensitive seniors, while December lows average 36 degrees. Redding gets just a bit over 34 inches of rain a year, and the surrounding farm country can send up potentially bothersome allergens for seniors with asthma.
- Redding's cost of living is somewhat higher than the national average, though the area is significantly less expensive than much of the rest of California. Average costs here are 14 percent higher than the national average. Healthcare, which is especially important for seniors in memory care, costs only about 3 percent more in Redding than across the country.
- Violent crime is rare in Redding, though crime rates for other categories can be relatively high. Theft rates, which are possibly more likely to affect seniors in memory care, are significantly higher, hovering around a rough average of 2,000 per 100,000 people.
- The Redding is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Shasta Regional Medical Center and Mercy Medical Center Redding, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
