What to Consider About Memory Care in Warner Robins

The Georgia Department of Community Health supports and monitors all memory care facilities in Warner Robins and the rest of the state. This department enforces a consistent standard of care for residents through a strict licensing process and regular inspections. It also publishes information on rules dementia care facilities must follow related to care planning, staffing and building requirements.

 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Warner Robins

  •  memory care communities promote access to care services through on-staff nurses and on-call physicians.
  • On a 100-point cost of living index based on the national norm, Warner Robins scores 79.9. This indicates overall living costs in this city are 20% below national averages, which may appeal to seniors with fixed incomes. Residents in this city typically spend less than national norms for housing, groceries and transportation, which may promote competitive memory care pricing.
  • Property crime occurs more frequently in Warner Robins than in a typical U.S. city, although the violent crime rate is close to the national mark. On a 100-point index, the city rates 29 for violent crime, compared to the U.S. score of 22.7. The property crime score is considerably higher at 77.9 versus 35.4 nationally, which may make residential care a safer alternative to living alone for seniors with dementia.
  • Warner Robins has a humid subtropical climate with relatively warm weather throughout the year. The summer months are marked by high temperatures of around 92 degrees Fahrenheit and stifling humidity, making them the least comfortable months. However, the other seasons are mild, with daytime temperatures ranging from 57 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the rest of the year. To make it easy for residents to enjoy the weather, many memory care facilities plan activities such as community outings and picnics.
  • Warner Robins residents aged 65 and over can claim a state income tax deduction of up to $65,000, significantly reducing or eliminating their tax bill. Additionally, Georgia doesn’t tax Social Security benefits, which may leave more money in the bank for local memory care costs.
