What to Consider About Memory Care in Godfrey

In Madison County, Illinois, nearly 12 percent of Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and over have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Godfrey, which is located in this county, has a large senior community that makes up roughly 22 percent of the village's population of 18,000 residents.

In Godfrey, memory care is generally offered within a supportive living facility that provides care exclusively for seniors with dementia. Memory care services may also be offered in an assisted living facility that has obtained proper licensing and certification from the state to provide dementia care. Godfrey has two memory care facilities, and there are 17 more in nearby cities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Godfrey

  • 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.
  • Madison County has very high ozone pollution levels, earning an F from the American Lung Association for this type of pollution. Families whose loved ones are at an increased risk of health problems due to pollution may want to consider the air quality in Godfrey.
  • Overall, Godfrey is a relatively affordable place to live in. Living costs come in nearly 10 percent below the national average, which can result in lower memory care costs. Healthcare expenses are a little higher here than in the nation as a whole, however, which may be a consideration for those whose senior loved one is managing a chronic condition like dementia. 
  • On a 100-point crime index, Godfrey is rated a 46, meaning that the community is safer than 46 percent of U.S. cities of all sizes. Compared solely to other U.S. cities with similar population sizes, however, Godfrey's crime rate is notably lower than average. This may provide peace of mind for families with loved ones in memory care in this city.
