What to Consider About Memory Care in Bonneville County
Bonneville County is located in the eastern region of Idaho and is home to about 115,000 people, roughly 13 percent of whom are aged 65 and over. In this county, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services projects that about 8.7 percent of seniors who are Medicare recipients have Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
Bonneville County seniors with dementia generally receive treatment in assisted living facilities that specialize in providing that type of care. Bonneville County has just two memory care facilities for local families to choose from, both of which are located in Idaho Falls.
- Bonneville County seniors do not pay state income tax on Social Security benefits, and public pension recipients aged 65 and over qualify for a large tax deduction on this type of income. Other types of retirement income, including retirement savings accounts and private pensions, are fully taxable, which may affect how much money they can put toward memory care services in this county.
- According to the American Lung Association, ozone pollution levels in the Bonneville County region are very low, with the region tying for first place among metropolitan areas in the country for low ozone pollution. This may make Bonneville County a good option for seniors with cardiovascular disease or a respiratory illness.
- Bonneville County is prone to hot summers with highs in the mid-80s and chilly, snowy winters with lows near 11 degrees. The region receives about 47 inches of annual snowfall, compared to the nationwide average of 26 inches, which could make seasonal travel more difficult for families visiting loved ones in local memory care.
- Compared to the country as a whole, Bonneville County is a relatively affordable place to live. Housing costs and utility expenses are lower than the national average, which may bring down the cost of memory care. Although healthcare expenses are a little higher than the state average, they are about 4 percent lower than the national average.
