What to Consider About Memory Care in Idaho Falls
Idaho Falls is located in eastern Idaho and has roughly 61,000 residents. Alzheimer's disease is becoming increasingly prevalent among the state's senior population. Currently, 25,000 seniors are diagnosed with the disease, and that number is expected to increase by more than 30 percent in the coming years. The senior community in Idaho Falls makes up nearly 13 percent of the total population.
There are two memory care facilities in Idaho Falls located within assisted living facilities. In Idaho, assisted living facilities that offer dementia care must provide staff with specialized training and provide secured indoor and outdoor areas for residents with Alzheimer's and dementia.
- In Idaho, Social Security income is not subject to state income tax, and public pensions qualify for tax deductions for citizens aged 65 and over. Income from private pensions and retirement savings accounts are fully taxable. This may impact how much money can be put into the memory care budget.
- Idaho Falls is a relatively affordable place to live, with overall living costs in general, and health care expenses in particular, coming in below the national average. This may benefits families and seniors who have restrictive memory care budgets.
- On a scale of one to 100, with 100 indicating high crime, Idaho Falls' violent crime rate is 18.6, which is considerably lower than the national average of 31.1. The property crime rate is roughly on par with the national average at 40.0. This may make the city appealing for safety-minded families who are researching memory care options.
- Idaho has a fairly comfortable climate throughout the year. In the summer, highs reach into the mid-80s, and there is virtually no humidity, making the city well-suited for seniors who are sensitive to heat.
