What to Consider About Memory Care in Mandeville
The quiet town of Mandeville, Louisiana has just 12,000 residents, but seniors age 65 and older make up about 17.5 percent of the population. For seniors with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, the Mandeville area has six memory care facilities, including two within city limits.
Memory care facilities throughout Louisiana, including in Mandeville, are called Alzheimer's Special Care Units (ASCUs), and they are considered a special category of residential care providers. ASCUs include any residential care provider that advertises special services for Alzheimer's disease and dementia patients or that dedicates a specific area or creates a specific program catering to these patients.
- St. Tammany parish, the parish where Mandeville is located, is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Lakeview Regional Medical Center, a campus of Tulane Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Mandeville's location on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, across from New Orleans, gives it a humid subtropical climate with consistently high temperatures during the summer and mild winters. Families considering ASCUs in the area should ask about how the facilities protect residents from heat extremes and potentially dangerous weather events.
- The American Lung Association gives St. Tammany Parish, the home parish of Mandeville, a D grade for ozone levels in the air, which could put elderly residents at risk for respiratory problems. However, the average number of days with unacceptable ozone levels has been steadily decreasing since 2010, so the air quality is improving throughout the area.
- Mandeville has a cost of living that is 12.6 percent higher than the national average, which could affect families who are financing memory care facilities for a loved one in the area. However, health care costs in Mandeville fall below the national average, which could offset some of the higher overall cost of living here.
