What to Consider About Memory Care in Greenwich

The town of Greenwich, Connecticut, is home to nearly 63,000 residents, a growing number of whom fall in the age range of 65 years and older. As more than 75,000 seniors across the state have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, it is important that there are facilities available to provide care to the 16.9 percent of seniors in Greenwich who have a cognitive condition. Just one of these memory care facilities, or Alzheimer's Special Care Units (SCUs) as they're called in Connecticut, is currently available in the town, but there are 23 other options in nearby communities that also provide this specialized care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Greenwich

  • Greenwich is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as Greenwich Hospital and Danbury Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Despite the 30 inches of snow it gets each year, winters are much more temperate in Greenwich than they are in many other towns across Connecticut. The average low is only 23 degrees, compared to an average of 17 degrees in the state; however, it is still important for SCUs to have measures in place to keep residents safe when conditions are less favorable.
  • While most SCUs have security systems and surveillance equipment installed, a low rate of crime can provided the families of seniors with dementia added peace of mind. Crime rates in Greenwich are much lower than the national averages, scoring a 22.4 for violent crime and a 21.8 for property crime, compared to scores of 31.1 and 38.1 in the same categories, respectively.
  • The cost of living in Greenwich is much higher than both state-wide and national averages. It receives an overall rating of 302.6, compared to 118 in Connecticut and 100 nationally, with the largest contributing factor being housing costs, which are more than seven times the national average. This may be something for families on a budget to consider when choosing a memory care facility for their loved one.
