What to Consider About Memory Care in Jackson

Jackson has a sizable senior population with almost 15 percent of the city's 5,100 people aged 65 and over. People in this age range are most at risk for Alzheimer's disease, a condition that affects 130,000 Georgians. There are 20 memory care facilities in Jackson and the surrounding area offering care and support to people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.

Memory Care Units in Jackson are licensed by the Georgia Department of Community Health. These facilities must meet standards regarding staff training and the environment they provide to residents to meet licensing requirements.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Jackson

  • The Jackson area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital specializing in brain health and dementia care located in Covington.
  • Georgia does not tax Social Security Income, and any federal taxes paid on this income can be reclaimed on a Georgia tax return. Other forms of retirement income, including money from pensions and retirement funds, are taxed, but people aged 62 and over can claim a deduction. Sales taxes are also moderate, allowing seniors and their families to put more money in their budget for memory care in Jackson.
  • The Sperling index rates Jackson's cost of living at 96, four points lower than the national average of 100. Some expenses are even lower, with health care rated at 91, nine points lower than the U.S. average. This may allow the families of seniors with health conditions to save money for memory care.
  • Jackson has warm summers, and the average high temperature in July is 90 degrees. The city gets 48 inches of rain each year, 9 inches more than the national average, but only 1 inch of snow. Winters are mild with an average low in January of 33 degrees. When touring facilities, families may wish to ask staff if there are opportunities for residents to spend time outside enjoying the sunshine.
