What to Consider About Memory Care in Evansville
The city of Evansville is located on the Ohio River in Indiana, a state where roughly 110,000 people live with Alzheimer's disease. Evansville has a large senior community, with adults over the age of 65 making up 15 percent of the 119,000-person population. To support seniors who have Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, Evansville has two memory care facilities, and there is one additional facility outside of the city limits.
In Evansville, as in all of Indiana, memory care facilities are officially called dementia special care units, or SCUs, and they may either be freestanding communities that are exclusively for those with dementia or located within an assisted living facility.
- The cost of living in Evansville is significantly lower than the average U.S. city, with healthcare expenses coming in nearly 20 percent below the national average. This may help families put more money toward memory care for their loved one.
- Evansville’s overall crime rate is higher than both state and national averages. Families may want to review the security measures and policies of the memory care facility they choose for their loved one.
- While Vanderburgh County, the county in which Evansville is located, was given an A for short-term particle pollution from the American Lung Association, the county was given an F for ozone pollution. Seniors with respiratory illnesses should talk to their healthcare providers to determine how the city's air quality may affect their health.
- Evansville has four distinct seasons, with summer highs in the upper-80s and winter lows in the mid-20s. The area only receives 11 inches of snow annually, which may appeal to families who travel locally to visit their loved ones in memory care.
