What to Consider About Memory Care in Johnston

Johnston, Iowa, is home to 21,560 residents, including 2,800 senior citizens. Due to the aging population, Alzheimer's disease and related dementias are affecting a growing number of Iowa residents. According to the Alzheimer's Association, more than 64,000 Iowans have the disease, and the state is bracing for a 14 percent increase in diagnoses between 2018 and 2025.

In the rapidly growing Des Moines metropolitan area, 12 memory care facilities are dedicated to serving this population. According to state regulations, residential care facilities may operate separate dementia units or dedicate the entire property to memory care. These units may be monitored or locked as long as the facility has specially trained staff, written dementia care policies and an approved method for assessing new residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Johnston

  • The cost of living in Johnston is slightly higher than other parts of Iowa due to its proximity to the state capital. Housing and healthcare are 45 and 18 percent higher than the national average respectively, while transportation, groceries and utilities are cheaper. The moderate living cost can increase the affordability of full-time memory care for many families.
  • Johnston has an exceptionally low number of property crimes and violent offenses compared to the national and state averages. The violent crime rate is 21.6 compared to the U.S. average of 31.1, and the local property crime rate is 17.5 compared to 38.1 nationally.
  • As part of the Des Moines metropolitan area, Johnston has excellent air quality. Seniors and at-risk adults who have asthma or COPD are unlikely to experience complications since the area has one of the lowest levels of ozone pollution in the nation.
  • Iowa's winter weather can be hard on seniors. The community receives 36 inches of snow, and temperatures frequently plunge into the teens. Johnston's Comfort Index is 36 out of 100, which is 18 points lower than the U.S. average. Families may wish to determine what safeguards memory care facilities have to protect residents during weather events.
