What to Consider About Memory Care in Ridgefield

Approximately 75,000 seniors across the state of Connecticut have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, including some of the 16.2 percent of Ridgefield's over 25,000 residents who are aged 65 years and older. To serve this segment of the population, 16 memory care facilities, called Alzheimer's Special Care Units (SCUs) in Connecticut, are available in the town and its surrounding communities. As required by the state's Department of Public Health, these facilities are required to obtain special licensing to offer memory care services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Ridgefield

  • On a scale where 100 represents the highest crime rate, violent crime in Ridgefield receives an 18.2, and property crime scores a 17.4. These numbers are significantly lower than the U.S. national averages of 31.1 and 38.1, respectively. Family members of loved ones with dementia may still find it beneficial to discuss the specific security measures a facility has taken to ensure its residents are kept safe at all times.
  • Ridgefield 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 Danbury (Danbury Hospital) and Norwalk (Norwalk Hospital), both a 20-minute drive away.
  • Though winters can be cold, Ridgefield is considered to have a good climate for the Connecticut region. Lows fall to about 18 degrees during the wintertime, with roughly 39 inches of snow expected to fall throughout the season, but summer temperatures are much warmer, climbing to highs in the mid-80s. It may be beneficial to discuss the SCU's policies to protect residents when winter conditions do get harsh.
  • At a score of 181, the cost of living in Ridgefield is much higher than both the Connecticut average of 118 and the U.S. national average of 100. This is something families may want to consider if moving to the area to be closer to their loved one living in a memory care facility.

My mom moved into the memory care unit. They give me a lot of feedback, and I'm very happy. They make phone calls to tell me mom's okay, and that's a big deal for me. I feel like they've become...
