What to Consider About Memory Care in Champaign

This department enforces dementia-specific rules related to staffing, staff training and building requirements, and it monitors compliance with regular inspections and by following up on complaints regarding substandard services and conditions.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Champaign

  • Champaign has been a member of the AARP Age-Friendly Network since 2017 and is recognized as an age-friendly community for the strides its leaders have taken toward creating a safe, welcoming environment for seniors. It ranks among the top communities in the nation for high access to public transportation, stores and libraries, as well as comparatively high patient satisfaction.
  • Seniors in Illinois don’t pay state income taxes on disbursements from retirement savings accounts, public or private pensions or Social Security benefits. While property taxes are relatively high in the state, seniors with memory impairments may avoid this burden by transitioning to a residential dementia care facility.
  • Champaign’s overall cost of living is among the lowest in the state, which may appeal to seniors and families seeking an affordable community for dementia care. On a 100-point index based on living costs nationwide, the city rates 79.2. This is about 15 percentage points below the Illinois median and 20% lower than the national average and may result in competitive memory care pricing.
  • Historically, crime occurs at a higher rate in Champaign than in a typical U.S. city, although the frequency of property and violent crime has been decreasing over the past two decades. On a 100-point index, the nation scores 22.7 for violent crime and 35.4 for property-related offenses. In Champaign, the respective rates are a little higher at 37.9 and 42.3. Fortunately, many memory care facilities promote a safe environment for residents through advanced security measures, such as alarm systems and surveillance cameras.  
  • Champaign scores 8.6 on a 10-point comfort index compared to the nation’s score of 7.8, indicating generally pleasant temperatures throughout the year. On average, the city gets 41 inches of rain and 20 inches of snow annually, and temperatures range from lows of 17 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to highs of 84 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. To keep residents safe and prevent off-site wandering in extreme temperatures, memory care facilities have fully secured indoor and outdoor common areas.
