What to Consider About Memory Care in Kenner

This agency licenses long-term care communities and ensures they meet various health standards to keep residents safe.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Kenner

 

  • Kenner experiences 222 sunny days per year, slightly more than the national average of 205. While summers can be somewhat uncomfortable due to the region's humid climate, average winter temperatures sit at 45.4 degrees Fahrenheit, which is much higher than the U.S. norm of 21.7 degrees Fahrenheit, benefiting seniors who dislike cold weather.
  • Violent crime rates are relatively low in Kenner, measuring 19.1 on a 100-point scale, whereas the U.S. average is 22.7. Although property crime rates are 13.1‬ points higher than the national norm of 35.4, memory care communities have features such as camera surveillance and keypad entries that protect against burglaries and vandalism.
  • Kenner's overall cost of living is 2.5% lower than average. While this is only a slight difference, it can still help make memory care and its associated costs more affordable for families.
  • Kenner has a high sales tax rate of 9.2%, greatly exceeding the U.S. average of 7.3%. Louisiana's maximum income tax rate is 4.25%, but the state doesn't tax Social Security income. Seniors aged 65+ may also be eligible for a tax deduction of up to $6,000 on other forms of retirement income, giving them more money to offset the higher cost of living in Kenner.
  • Health care is 12.6‬% cheaper in Kenner than the national average, and the city has a nearly 46% higher physician density than the U.S. norm, with 306 doctors for every 100,000 people.
  • Many hospitals fall within a 25-mile radius of Kenner, providing highly accessible medical care for seniors. Ochsner Medical Center, one of the closest choices, has won awards for excellence in patient safety. It's also recognized both by the American Heart Association and The Joint Commission for outstanding cardiac and stroke care.
