Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Avon
- Avon's air quality may be a consideration for families whose senior loved ones have a respiratory illness. According to the American Lung Association, Hartford County's ozone pollution levels are very high, but the short-term particle pollution levels are very low.
- The cost of living in Avon is high, even by Connecticut's standards, which may be a consideration for families and seniors on a tight budget. Overall, living expenses are about 36 percent higher than the national average and 18 percent higher than the state average. While healthcare expenses are about 6 percent higher than the U.S. average, they are on par with the state median.
- Avon is rated safer than 70 percent of U.S. cities of all sizes, and its crime rate is notably lower than other cities of similar size across the country. This may provide peace of mind for families whose senior loved ones reside in a memory care facility in this city.
- Social Security benefits are taxable in Connecticut for seniors whose income level is above a certain level. All other types of retirement income, including pensions and withdrawals from retirement savings accounts, are fully taxable. This may reduce how much money can be put toward memory care expenses in Avon.
Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Avon
Avon-area memory care communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all memory care communities in Connecticut are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in Connecticut page for more information about these laws.
