What to Consider About Memory Care in Kenner
The senior community in Kenner is large, making up over 15 percent of the city's population of 67,000 people. According to the Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's disease is primarily diagnosed in seniors age 65 and over, with as many as 1 in 10 seniors having the disease. In Louisiana alone, roughly 87,000 seniors are living with Alzheimer's disease.
To meet the needs of local seniors with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, Kenner has two memory care facilities, and there are three more in the nearby cities of Metairie and Luling. These facilities, which may also be called Alzheimer's special care units, may have their own campus or be located within any adult residential care provider that specializes in dementia care services.
- Ozone pollution levels are moderate in Jefferson Parish, and short-term particle pollution levels are low, receiving the respective grades of C and A from the American Lung Association. This may make Kenner an attractive option for families whose senior loved one has a respiratory illness or cardiovascular disease.
- Summers in Kenner are long, hot and humid with highs near 90 degrees, which may be a drawback for seniors who are sensitive to heat. Winters are relatively comfortable, however, with lows in the mid-40s and virtually no snow.
- Kenner is rated as safer than 14 percent of U.S. cities and has a crime rate that is notably higher than other similarly sized communities across the country. To keep residents safe, memory care facilities use alarm systems, security cameras and high-security locks.
- Kenner is an affordable place to live, which may make the city an attractive option for seniors and families with restrictive memory care budgets. Health care expenses in this city are about 10 percent below the state median and 13 percent below the national median, which may make it more affordable to manage a chronic condition like Alzheimer's disease.
