What to Consider About Memory Care in Bartholomew County

Bartholomew County has about 82,000 residents and a senior community that makes up 16 percent of the population. Roughly 13.4 percent of Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and over in Indiana are living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia compared to the national average of 11.3 percent.

Bartholomew County is home to two memory care facilities, both of which are located in the city of Columbus. Memory care services in this county are provided in dementia special care units, which may either be located in dedicated buildings or within assisted living facilities or nursing homes.   

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • The level of ozone pollution, which may also be called "smog," is fairly high in Bartholomew County, and the county was rated a D for this type of pollution from the American Lung Association. Short-term particle pollution levels are very low, however, with the county earning an A for this type of pollution. This may be a consideration for families whose loved one has a condition like asthma or COPD. 
  • Bartholomew County seniors do not pay state income tax on Social Security benefits, but all other types of retirement income are fully taxable. This may affect how much money can be put toward memory care services here.
  • On a 100-point scale with a low score representing less crime, property crime in Bartholomew County is on par with the national average at 38.1, but violent crime is slightly more prevalent here than in the nation as a whole, with a rating of 36.9 versus the national average of 31.1. As they're touring the local memory care facilities, families may want to ask about security features like surveillance cameras and alarm systems. 
  • The overall cost of living in Bartholomew County is similar to that of Indiana as a whole and about 14 percent below the national average. Healthcare expenses here are about 4 percent higher than the state average but about 13 percent below the national average. This may make the county a good option for families with tight memory care budgets.
