    What to Consider About Memory Care in Yreka

    Yreka, CA, is a small city of 7,600 people in California's Siskiyou County, near the Oregon state line. This rural area is home to a little over 1,500 seniors aged 65 and over, some of whom have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. For those who need full-time supervision and daily help following their doctors' treatment plan, Yreka has one memory care facility to house and care for them.

    Memory care in California is regulated as long-term residential care, in the same category as skilled nursing and assisted living, and all facilities statewide must be licensed through the California Department of Social Services Adult Care Licensing Program. 

    • Yreka's weather moves between warm-to-hot summers, when high temperatures average 92 degrees Fahrenheit, and cold winters that see average lows of 25 degrees Fahrenheit. These extremes can be problematic for seniors who are sensitive to heat and cold. The Yreka area typically gets a little under 20 inches of rain a year.
    • Yreka's cost of living is unusual for California, in that it's less expensive than the national average. Overall costs here are just 94 percent of national costs in all categories. Healthcare, which especially concerns seniors in memory care, is 98 percent of the national average cost in Yreka.
    • The crime rate in Yreka is about one-third higher than the national average across categories, though most of this is in petty theft and property crimes. The violent crimes that most concern seniors are still rare in Yreka, and they're even less common for seniors in memory care, who have full-time supervision from staff.
    • The Yreka area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Fairchild Medical Center and Mercy Medical Center Mt. Shasta, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
