What to Consider About Memory Care in Lawrence
The city of Lawrence is home to nearly 97,000 people, about a tenth of which are over the age of 65. It is situated in Kansas, which the Alzheimer's Association projects has 53,000 people with dementia. To support its local population, Lawrence has four memory care facilities, with an additional facility located outside the city limits.
While Kansas does not license or certify memory care facilities in the state, including those in Lawrence, assisted living facilities that offer memory care must meet special guidelines pertaining to their evaluation, admission process, staffing and security.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Lawrence
- Social Security benefits in Kansas are not taxed for seniors with an income of less than $75,000, which may help leave more money in the memory care budget. Public pensions are not taxed, but all other types of retirement income are taxable.
- Winters in Lawrence are cold and windy with lows in the mid-20s, and summers are hot and humid with highs in the 90s. While seniors who enjoy experiencing four distinct seasons may appreciate the city's climate, those who prefer comfortable year-round temperatures may find the colder months tough to get through.
- On a scale of 1 to 100, with 100 representing a high crime rate, Lawrence's property crime rate is 53.6, compared to the national average of 38.1, and the violent crime rate is just above the U.S. average at 32.8. Families who are moving their loved ones to memory care in Lawrence may want to review the security measures taken by the facility they choose to keep residents safe.
- Living costs in Lawrence are on par with the national average, though they are about 10 percent higher than the state average. Healthcare costs here are slightly below state and national medians, which may help seniors afford the care needed to manage a chronic condition like dementia.
Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Lawrence
