What to Consider About Memory Care in Aurora
Aurora, Colorado, part of the greater Denver area, is the capital city of the state. Over 71,000 Colorado residents have been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, many of whom require memory care and nursing. The population of Aurora is 367,000, 11 percent of whom are seniors over 65 who may need housing in one of the city's 94 memory care facilities.
Licensing and regulatory oversight for memory care facilities are the purview of the state's Department of Health, which also offers resources for families helping their loved one settle into memory care living.
-
Winter weather in Aurora starts as early as September and lasts well into the spring. Low temperatures regularly fall below freezing. Seniors in memory care with health conditions affected by cold weather will be uncomfortable here. Summers are warm, which may bring relief to aching joints.
- Housing costs in Aurora are nearly double the national average, increasing the overall cost of living in the city. This may increase boarding fees in memory care, as facilities may have higher operating costs. Health care, groceries and utilities, however, are slightly lower than the U.S. average.
- Colorado's property tax is one of the lowest in the nation. This may help families helping loved ones afford memory care, as they may need to sell Colorado properties. In addition, the state income tax allows a $24,000 deduction for seniors, and there are other retiree-friendly benefits, too.
- Aurora, as part of the greater Denver metro area, is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as The Rocky Mountain Disease Center of UC — Denver and Lutheran Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
