What to Consider About Memory Care in Westminster
Located northwest of Denver, Colorado, Westminster is a thriving suburban community with a population of 112,812, including 13,500 senior citizens. Based on statewide estimates, 8.5 percent of the city's senior population has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. To protect these residents, assisted living residences that provide memory care must comply with supplemental regulatory requirements established by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment and the Colorado Council on Assisted Living. Currently, some 20 facilities in Westminster and the surrounding area meet these standards.
- Overall, Westminster is a very safe community. The rate of violent crimes is substantially lower than the metropolitan, state and national averages, and the number of property crimes is on par with the national average. To fulfill the state's regulatory requirements, facilities must maintain a secure environment and provide information about how they ensure the safety of dementia patients.
- Westminster's cost of living is 35 percent higher than the national average, but just 2 percent higher than other parts of Colorado. High real estate prices are responsible for the largest portion of the cost difference, which may influence the affordability of memory care in Westminster and neighboring areas.
- Thanks to its metropolitan location, the Westminster area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as the North Suburban Medical Center, the Lutheran Medical Center and the Memory Disorders Clinic at the UCHealth Stapleton Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illnesses.
- The Denver area is one of the nation's 25 most polluted cities, based on concentrations of ozone and short-term particulates, according to the American Lung Association. In general, seniors are more susceptible to pollution. Assisted living residences may need to take special precautions to protect their indoor air quality.
