What to Consider About Memory Care in Winder

In Winder and throughout the state, memory care facilities obtain licensing through the Georgia Department of Community Health, Healthcare Facility Regulation Division. This agency officially recognizes these communities as assisted living facilities, and it monitors day-to-day operations and conducts routine inspections. It also publishes information on paying for memory care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Winder

  • In Winder, seniors don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security income, and they can claim a deduction of up to $65,000 to reduce their tax liability on other retirement income sources. This deduction helps many seniors afford local memory care costs.
  • On a cost-of-living index, Winder scores 99 points, which aligns with the national norm but is almost 5% higher than the Georgia average. Although transportation costs run high here, housing, health care and grocery expenses fall below national benchmarks, promoting affordable residential memory care services.
  • Winder has warm, humid summers that span from late May through mid-September and bring an average daytime temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Winter runs shorter, lasting from the end of November through the end of February, with daily highs between 53 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Memory care facilities often provide unit-controlled thermostats and a range of indoor and outdoor activities to help residents stay comfortable and active throughout the year.
  • Winder scores 47 points on the AARP Livability Index, coming in slightly below the average U.S. city rating of 48 points. Even so, several factors have a positive impact on the city’s overall rating, including access to affordable housing and a high diversity of destinations within neighborhoods. To compensate for limited access to health care services, many local memory care facilities have staff nurses and on-call doctors who provide medical oversight and wellness services.
  • The award-winning Northeast Georgia Medical Center Barrow sits in Winder and specializes in orthopedics, heart care and radiology. The hospital also offers emergency care and provides referrals for dementia diagnosis and treatment services. Additionally, many memory care communities coordinate medical services and provide transportation for doctor’s appointments.
