What to Consider About Memory Care in Shelley

In the state of Idaho, there are 25,000 people living with Alzheimer's disease, and this number is expected to increase to 33,000 by the year 2025. Some of these people live in the small town of Shelley, which has a population of 4,372.

To serve those who are living with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, the Shelley area has one assisted living facility with a memory care unit. This facility, like others in the state, is licensed by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and is required to provide a safe interior and secure exterior environment for residents who have cognitive impairments.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Shelley

  • Shelley weather is comparable to other cities in the Midwest. The summer months have moderate temperatures, but high humidity levels could be a problem for seniors who are sensitive to heat. During winter, temperatures dip into the low teens and snowfall is common. Hazardous road conditions could make it difficult for family members to visit loved ones living in memory care facilities.
  • Seniors on a fixed income may find the Shelley area affordable. The city's overall cost of living is 10 percent lower than the national average and 4 percent lower than the state average. The average cost of healthcare services is 6 percent lower than the U.S. average and 5 percent lower than the state average.
  • While Shelley's crime rate averages 3 percent higher than Idaho's average, it's still 30 percent lower than the national average. Families don't need to be overly concerned about their loved one's personal safety in memory care facilities that have adequate security in place.
  • Idaho is a fairly tax-friendly state for seniors. While withdrawals from retirement accounts are taxed at the state's full rate of 6.92 percent, Social Security payments are not taxed. Pension payments, both public and private, are only partially taxed.

Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Shelley

Shelley-area memory care communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all memory care communities in Idaho are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in Idaho page for more information about these laws.
