What to Consider About Memory Care in Temecula
Temecula, California, is about a 1.5-hour drive from Los Angeles and has a population of 114,327, 10,975 of whom are 65 years of age or older. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, one in eight Californians age 55 or older will develop Alzheimer’s disease, and one in six will develop dementia. There are three memory care facilities in Temecula to support these adults, as well as 10 facilities in nearby Murrieta, Mount Pleasant and Fallbrook.
In California, memory care services are provided by housing arrangements called residential care facilities (RCFs), which are licensed by the Department of Social Services. Most RFC residents are 60 years of age or older, although they may admit residents younger than 60, but RFCs cannot admit individuals who need 24-hour nursing care. These facilities can support individuals with mild dementia if the resident organizes their own specialized care, like receiving medical care from a visiting nurse or contracting with hospice agencies to access services that the facility cannot provide.
- Seniors with limited budgets should consider California’s relatively high tax rates when researching memory care facilities. Income from Californians’ retirement accounts and pensions are fully taxed, though Social Security retirement benefits are exempt.
- Temecula has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital specializing in brain health and dementia care located in Los Angeles.
- This city sees relatively low property and violent crime rates, so families who choose a memory care facility in this area can enjoy peace of mind about their loved one's safety. Overall, Temecula crime rates are slightly lower than the national average, and the violent crime rate is 40 percent lower than that of nearby Los Angeles.
- The Riverside County-Los Angeles-Long Beach area has the fourth-highest annual particle pollution level out of 187 other metropolitan areas. As such, the air quaity in Temecula may worsen the conditions of seniors with cardiovascular illnesses.
