What to Consider About Memory Care in Watkinsville

In Georgia, a state where 140,000 people are living with Alzheimer's disease, memory care units are located within assisted living facilities. These facilities are all licensed and regulated by Georgia's Department of Community Health, which requires memory care units to have added security in place for the safety of residents with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia.

Some of the people in Georgia with Alzheimer's disease reside in Watkinsville. The small city has a population of 2.892, and 11.2 percent of these residents are age 65 or older. To accommodate those with cognitive issues, the town has one assisted living facility with a memory care unit.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Watkinsville

  • The Watkinsville area has fairly mild year-round weather. The average high temperature in July is 79 degrees Fahrenheit, and the average low temperature in January is 44 degrees Fahrenheit. Family members may wish to inquire at their loved one's memory care facility how they keep the place cool during high summer heat.
  • The cost of living in Watkinsville is on par with national averages, but it is seven percent higher than Georgia's average cost of living. The average cost of healthcare services in Watkinsville is eight percent higher than the national average and 12 percent higher than the state average. This could affect monthly memory care costs in the city.
  • Seniors in Watkinsville are not required to pay income tax on Social Security income, and withdrawals from retirement accounts and pension payments are only partially taxed. This should leave a bit more money in the budget for memory care costs.
  • One great thing about Watkinsville is its low crime rate. The small city is safer than 61 percent of U.S. cities and has a crime rate that is 43 percent lower than the national average. Additionally, memory care units are required to have added protection, so family members likely won't have to worry about their loved one's safety here. 

Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Watkinsville
