What to Consider About Memory Care in Denver
The projected number Colorado state residents to have Alzheimer’s disease by 2025 is 110,000, and Denver has an array of facilities to cater to seniors in need of memory care. There are 58 facilities in the area including 18 within city limits, and they are regulated by the Health Facilities and Emergency Medical Services Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. In Denver, as in the rest of the Centennial State, the agencies licensed to have memory care units are assisted living residences (ALRs), nursing homes, government-sponsored alternative care facilities (ACFs) and veterans' community living centers.
- The air quality in the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area ranks one of the worst in terms of ozone days and 24-hour and annual particle pollution as rated by the American Lung Association. Seniors with respiratory health issues and their families should take this into serious consideration.
- In addition to Denver’s overall cost of living being 12 percent higher than the national average mainly due to expensive housing, the state of Colorado levies partial taxation on social security income, retirement account withdrawals and pensions. However, these are compensated by the tax exemption on groceries and medicines, benefiting seniors and their families.
- Violent and property crimes in Denver occur at higher rates as compared to the rest of Colorado state and U.S. national averages. When choosing memory care facilities in the area, security systems are of great importance for seniors and their loved ones.
- Denver is home to world-class medical facilities including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital Neurosciences Center, Denver Neurological Clinic and the Geriatric Care Clinic and Neurology Division of Denver Health Medical Center in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
