Godfrey has two memory care facilities, and there are 17 more in nearby cities.
- Illinois does not impose state income tax on any type of retirement income, including Social Security income, pension income and withdrawals from retirement savings accounts. This may leave more money in the budget for memory care expenses in Godfrey.
