What to Consider About Memory Care in Union City
The San Francisco Bay area in Alameda County is home to Union City, which has 75,343 residents, of which 11,377 are seniors aged 65 and older. Some 1,300 of them are estimated to have Alzheimer's disease, dementia or another form of cognitive impairment.
For assisted living centers to support these patients, they must first be licensed by the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) of California as a Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE). After that, the RCFE must adhere to an extensive, rigid set of guidelines that are intended to give residents a good quality of life. Union City has one RCFE, and two more are located in Fremont, a neighboring town.
- Union City's pleasant weather attracts many seniors for its therapeutic effects on asthma and arthritis. It has yearly averages of 265 sunny days, 17 inches of rain and no snow. Yearly temperatures fluctuate from 43 to 77, earning a Sperling's Comfort Index of 76 out of a possible 100, which is well above the national average of 54.
- The cost of living is far above the U.S. average, something families should keep in mind when budgeting for memory care here. Union City's COL is 114.7 points above the country's average of 100.
- Crime is at or slightly below the U.S. average for cities. The violent crime rate is 32.4 versus 31.1, and property crime is a little lower at 35.8 compared to 38.1. RCFEs provide an extra layer of security with combination door locks, closed circuit cameras at entrances and exits and monitors to supervise the residents.
- Air quality could be a factor if a senior with dementia also has lung cancer, asthma or cardiovascular disease. Alameda County received a C for the frequency of high ozone days and an F for particle pollution.
