What to Consider About Memory Care in Farmington
Across Connecticut, 75,000 seniors have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The town of Farmington is home to over 25,000 residents, 18.6 percent of whom are aged 65 years and older and may suffer from some type of dementia. These seniors can find the care they need at one of the 25 memory care facilities located both in the town and its nearby communities. In Connecticut, these facilities are called Alzheimer's Special Care Units (SCUs) and require special licensing from the state's Department of Public Health to operate.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Farmington
- At a score of 18.5 out of 100, with 100 being high crime, Farmington's rate of violent crime falls much below the U.S. national average of 31.1. Rates of property crime match the national average at a score of 38. When touring memory care facilities, it's still a good idea to discuss policies and procedures in place to ensure the safety and security of residents.
- Cost of living can be an important factor for seniors and their families when considering a move to an SCU. At 126.4, the cost of living in Farmington exceeds the U.S. national average of 100. The biggest factors in this difference are housing and utilities-related costs.
- Like many other cities across the state, Farmington is known for having harsh winters. Winter temperatures can drop to lows of 17 degrees, with 38 inches of snow expected each season, so families may want to check that the SCU has procedures in place to keep residents safe in cold conditions. Temperatures do warm up in the summertime, reaching highs over 80 degrees to bring the area's overall comfort index score to 45 out of a possible 100, with 100 being the best.
- Farmington has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospitals specializing in brain health and dementia care located in Hartford (Hartford Hospital) and Bristol (Bristol Hospital), both around a 20-minute drive away.
