What to Consider About Memory Care in Naperville

Seniors in Illinois can turn to the Illinois Department of Public Health for information about memory care facilities. This organization licenses long-term care facilities and makes sure they abide by the government guidelines.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Naperville

 

  • Naperville has been named as part of the Dementia-Friendly America Network. Inclusion in this network shows that the city has taken measures to help seniors with memory loss live and engage within the community. It offers many programs and information around financial and legal assistance, memory care facilities, home care services and education information for caregivers. 
  • Though the overall cost of living in Naperville is 21.8 points higher than the national average on a 100-point scale, it does offer lower-than-average costs for health care and utilities. Many of the local DuPage County senior resources help offset this high average cost.
  • Naperville’s climate is one with comfortable summer weather with temperatures that are typically no greater than 84 degrees F. However, it also has cold, snowy winters. The area averages 39 inches of rain and 29 inches of snow each year. 
  • One of the benefits of living in Naperville is its close proximity to the excellent health care options in Chicago, including Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Rush University Medical Center. However, seniors who want to access health care closer to home benefit from the main campus of Edward Hospital being within the community.
  • Getting around Naperville and the surrounding communities is easy for local seniors. Several area transportation services provide public transit for seniors, including Ride DuPage and Ride Assist Naperville. Seniors also qualify for a reduced fare card through the Regional Transportation Authority.
  • Naperville seniors benefit from the city’s low crime rates. Based on a 100-point scale, the violent crime rate is 10.2, and the property crime rate is 19.9. These are compared to national rates of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively.
