What to Consider About Memory Care in Bossier City
The rate of Alzheimer's and dementia in Bossier Parish is higher than the national average of one in 10 seniors, with over 11 percent of seniors who are receiving Medicare living with an Alzheimer's or dementia diagnosis. Some of these seniors may live in Bossier City, which has a population of a little less than 69,000 people and a large senior community that accounts for almost 13 percent of residents.
In the Bossier City region, as in all of Louisiana, memory care facilities may also be called Alzheimer's special care units. These facilities may be independent and have their own buildings, or they may be located within any adult residential care provider that specializes in dementia services. Bossier City has two memory care facilities, and one more is in nearby Shreveport.
- Ozone pollution levels in Bossier Parish are relatively low, with the region receiving a B for this type of pollution from the American Lung Association. This may make Bossier City a good option for seniors with respiratory conditions or cardiovascular disease.
- Louisiana seniors do not pay income tax on Social Security benefits or public pensions. Other types of retirement income are subject to state income tax, but there is a deduction to reduce how much money is owed. This may leave more money in the budget for memory care.
- Crime is somewhat prevalent in Bossier City, and the city is rated to be safer than only 4 percent of U.S. cities of all population sizes. When the city is compared only to similarly sized communities, its crime rate is higher than average. To keep residents safe, memory care facilities use surveillance cameras and alarm systems.
- Bossier City is a fairly affordable city to live in, with an overall cost of living that is more than 5 percent lower than the national average. Healthcare costs are also a little lower than the national average, which may appeal to seniors and families with tight memory care budgets.
