    What to Consider About Memory Care in Bloomington

    Residents in Bloomington, Illinois, who need specialized memory care services, including some of the state's 220,000 residents with Alzheimer's disease, have two options to choose from. Both of these must comply with the Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Services Act, which outlines special training for direct-care employees. It also gives the Illinois Department of Public Health the authority to ensure compliance. 

    Memory care patients in Bloomington can enjoy better-than-average air quality. Nationally, the average air quality score is 58, but it is 63 here. This might help some of the city’s senior citizens, who comprise 11.4 percent of the population, to breathe easy. 

    • Bloomington is located in central Illinois, so seniors will see an average of 21 inches of snow per year and approximately 38 inches of rain. The lows in January dip into the teens with an average of 17 degrees. In July, the highs average around 85 degrees, so weather is fairly mild and nice for enjoying outdoor activities.
    • The cost of living in Bloomington is much lower than that national average. The city’s overall index is 89.6, but the nation’s is 100. The health cost of living is a tad higher here with an index of 101, so memory care patients will have to consider the cost of this care when they reside here. Transportation is affordable with an index of only 79, which might help the budget to stretch some for these seniors.
    • The crime rate in this city is a mixed picture. The violent crime rate of 37.9 in the city is a bit higher than the national average of 31.1, but the property crime rate of 36.4 is slightly below the national rate of 38.1.
    • The Bloomington area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as OSF St. Joseph Medical Center and Advocate BroMenn Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
