What to Consider About Memory Care in San Bernardino
San Bernardino is located east of Los Angeles, California, and is home to just over 215,000 residents. Although less than 10 percent of San Bernardino's residents are senior citizens, there are 14 memory care facilities in the area that provide residential care and assistance to those who've been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
These facilities, known officially throughout California as Residential Care Facilities (RCFs), help to accommodate the staggering need for dementia care in California, where an estimated 650,000 seniors aged 65 and older have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. It's not uncommon for RCFs to offer both memory care and assisted living services, as provisions for both levels of care are similar in California.
- The San Bernardino area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those that specialize in brain health and dementia care, such as Dignity Health - Community Hospital of San Bernardino.
- The American Lung Association has given San Bernardino a failing grade for air quality. Both ozone levels and environmental pollutants are high, which may pose a health risk to some seniors, particularly those with heart or lung conditions.
- Social security income is tax exempt in California; however, all other forms of retirement income are fully taxed at some of the highest income tax rates in the country. For seniors receiving a pension and those with limited savings, taxes may be a deterrent to living in the state.
- Seniors and their loved ones may find San Bernardino more affordable than many other cities throughout California. Although the overall cost of living in the city is 16 percent higher than the national average, some individual costs are much lower. For example, the cost of healthcare is 17 percent below the nationwide average cost.
