What to Consider About Memory Care in Alpharetta

Approximately 6,579 seniors, including those who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, settle in Alpharetta due to the proximity to downtown Atlanta and the low rate of crime. The seniors in Alpharetta with cognitive issues make up just a fraction of the 140,000 individuals in the state with this type of illness.

In Alpharetta and the state of Georgia, memory care facilities are referred to as Memory Care Units (MCUs). They are specialized units in an assisted living community that provide memory care services to persons with a probable diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or other dementia.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Alpharetta

  • Alpharetta is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as the Northside Alpharetta Medical Campus, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • In Alpharetta and the rest of Georgia, there are significant tax exclusions on retirement income for seniors, which leaves more money to pay for memory care. Individuals 62 to 64 have an exclusion of $35,000 per person while individuals 65 and older have an exclusion of $65,000 per person. Georgia has been named one of the tax-friendliest states for seniors.
  • The cost of living in Alpharetta is 137.6, higher than both the state and the national average of 100. Seniors on a budget and those who must pay for memory care may have trouble making ends meet within the city limits.
  • Winters in Alpharetta are short and mild with average January lows around 31. The city only gets around two inches of snow per year, which makes the area ideal for seniors who are trying to escape the snowy winters of the northern states. Summers are hot and humid with July highs around 88 degrees.
