What to Consider About Memory Care in Woodbury County

Woodbury County is situated in the extreme western region of Iowa and is home to a little over 100,000 people. In the senior community, which makes up nearly 15 percent of the total population, roughly one in 10 Medicare beneficiaries has Alzheimer's disease or dementia. 

There are two memory care facilities in Woodbury County, both of which are located in Sioux City. These facilities share housing with assisted living programs that are certified as dementia care units by the Department of Inspections and Appeals, Health Facilities Division, as is the case across the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Woodbury County is a very affordable place to live, with overall living expenses coming in 8 percent below the state average and nearly 20 percent below the national average. Although healthcare expenses are high here compared to the nation as a whole, they are about 6 percent below the state median. The region's relatively low cost of living may let families allocate more money toward memory care expenses.
  • Iowa exempts all Social Security income from state income tax and provides a deduction on all other types of retirement income. Therefore, seniors may put more of their income toward memory care in Woodbury County.
  • Over the course of a year, temperatures in Woodbury County fluctuate between 10 degrees and 85 degrees, and the region receives about 33 inches of annual snowfall. To ensure year-round comfort for residents, many memory care facilities have individual climate control in residents' bedrooms.
  • Woodbury County's crime rate is a little higher than the national median. On a 100-point scale where a higher score indicates more crime, property crime in this county is rated 43.1 and violent crime is rated 44.5, versus the national averages of 38.1 and 31.1. Families may want to ask about the security measures taken by their loved ones' memory care facilities.
