What to Consider About Memory Care in Granite City

In Illinois, there are 220,000 individuals aged 65 and older living with Alzheimer's disease. Granite City, the second largest city in the Metro East, is home to around 29,000 residents, 17.3 percent of whom are seniors that may have some type of dementia. To address this growing concern, the state has enacted an Alzheimer's Disease State Plan, emphasizing the need for Alzheimer's special care units, which can be found at assisted living facilities, shared living establishments and supportive living facilities. There is currently just one facility providing this type of care in Granite City, however over 40 additional options can be found in nearby communities. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Granite City

  • Granite City is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as Gateway Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Compared to rates seen across the state, crime is much higher in this metropolitan region. The rate of violent crime in Granite City scores 45.2 out of 100, while Illinois receives 31.2, and the rate of property crime is 38.7, compared to 27.5. While most memory care faculties are outfitted with surveillance equipment and have safety procedures in place, it's a good idea to review this information with staff members.
  • Saving money on daily living expenses can help provide extra income to put toward the cost of memory care services. Compared to both statewide and national averages of 100 and 102, respectively, the cost of living in Granite City is much lower. It scores a 79.8 overall, with residents saving most in the areas of housing, groceries and utilities.
  • While winters are mild for the region, with temperatures settling around 23 degrees and just 15 inches of snow expected to fall, summer highs can reach a sweltering 88 degrees. Consider looking into the measures a memory care facility has in place to ensure the safety of its residents during extreme weather conditions, both hot and cold.
