What to Consider About Memory Care in Lake Bluff

Nestled along the shores of Lake Michigan, Lake Bluff is a quaint village with a population of around 5,600. Roughly 17.6 percent of its residents are aged 65 and older, and in a state where 220,000 seniors are currently living with Alzheimer's disease, access to care is a subject of increasing importance. This concern has been addressed by the Illinois Department of Public Health in its Alzheimer's Disease State Plan, which seeks to ensure access to facilities that provide dedicated dementia care. Though there is only one facility to offer this type of specialized treatment in Lake Bluff, 18 additional memory care facilities are available in nearby communities.

  • Compared to both statewide and national averages, the overall cost of living in Lake Bluff is considerably higher. It scores a rating of 166, while the Illinois average receives a 102 and U.S. national average scores 100. Families may want to keep this in mind when deciding where to allocate memory care funds.
  • As is seen across the state of Illinois, winter weather in Lake Bluff can be unfavorable.
