The Iowa Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association serves these seniors and their families by providing support and informational resources.
Those who are seeking memory care services for a loved one in Warren County may choose from three facilities, including two in Indianola and one in Norwalk.

Healthcare expenses are about 13 percent higher than the national average and 5 percent lower than the state average. This may be a consideration for seniors and families seeking cost-effective memory care services.
- Warren County is a relatively safe community with a crime rate that is below the national average, which may appeal to families seeking local memory care services for a loved one. On a 100-point scale with a higher value indicating more crime, property crime in this county is rated 25.1 and violent crime is rated 25.8, versus the national rates of 38.1 and 31.1, respectively.
