What to Consider About Memory Care in Lithia Springs
Lithia Springs is a census-designated place in eastern Douglas County, where 8.2 percent of the town's more than 15,000 residents are aged 65 or older. Across the county, one out of every ten seniors in this age group is living with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia.
When home care is no longer sufficient for a loved one who has dementia, moving to a memory care facility may be the best option. The Lithia Springs area offers 76 memory care units, which the state licenses as part of Assisted Living Communities or Personal Care Homes. One of these units is in Lithia Springs, and the others are in neighboring cities, including Smyrna and Marietta.
- Families of seniors with dementia may find that memory care is more affordable in a city with low living costs. In Lithia Springs, the overall cost of living is .6 percent lower than Georgia state and U.S. averages. The savings on healthcare is even more striking, with spending for medical care in Lithia Springs averaging 10 percent less.
- Seniors in Lithia Springs may benefit from Georgia's retiree-friendly tax policies, which exempt Social Security retirement income. Although the state may tax other types of retirement income, people aged 62 or older may qualify for a substantial exemption.
- The American Lung Association's 2018 air quality report found that Douglas County has high levels of air pollution. Specifically, the county receives a failing grade for its number of poor ozone days, which can put a senior's health at risk. Families want to keep this in mind, especially if their loved one plans to use a memory care facility's outdoor area.
- In the event of medical emergencies or illness, the Lithia Springs area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Emory University Hospital in nearby Atlanta, which is nationally ranked in the specialty of neurology.
