What to Consider About Memory Care in Brazil
The small Indiana city of Brazil is home to a little over 8,000 people, over 14 percent of whom are age 65 and over. The city is served by the Alzheimer's Association Greater Indiana Chapter, which provides support for the 110,000 Hoosier seniors affected by Alzheimer's disease as their caregivers.
Brazil is home to one memory care facility. As is the case with many Indiana memory care facilities, the facility is housed within an assisted living facility that specializes in serving residents with Alzheimer's and dementia. In Indiana, memory care facilities are officially known as dementia special care units and are licensed by the Family and Social Services Agency Division of Aging.
- In Indiana, seniors do not pay income tax on Social Security, public and private pension income and income from retirement savings accounts are fully taxable. This may affect how much seniors and families can put toward memory care costs in Brazil.
- The Brazil area is home to world-class medical facilities, including St. Vincent Clay Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- The overall cost of living in Brazil is roughly 22 percent lower than the national average, which may make the city an attractive option for families and seniors on a budget. While healthcare costs are about 10 percent higher than the state average, they are roughly seven percent lower than the national average.
- Summers in Brazil are warm and humid, with highs in the mid-80s. Winters are chilly, with January lows in the teens. The area receives just 19 inches of annual snowfall, compared to the national average of 26 inches, which may make local travel easier for families visiting their loved ones in memory care.
