What to Consider About Memory Care in Baltimore County

There are over 110,000 seniors living with Alzheimer's disease in Maryland, and that number is expected to increase by almost 20 percent to 130,000 by 2025. Over 16 percent of the residents of Baltimore County are aged 65 or over and some are in need of a residential memory care facility.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Baltimore County

 

  • Summers in Baltimore County are typically long and hot, with temperatures usually peaking in the 70s and 80s. Such hot temperatures are perfect for seniors who enjoy spending time outside. However, winters can be rather cold, with temperatures potentially dropping to the mid 20s. This might bother seniors who have conditions that are aggravated by cold weather. 
  • In all of Maryland, Social Security retirement benefits are exempt from taxation. Not having to worry about paying taxes on what may be a limited income can leave more money in the budget for memory care.
  • The cost of living in Baltimore County is gets a score of 98, which is much lower than the rest of Maryland, 125, and slightly less than the national average of 100. Healthcare costs are also a bit lower than the national average of 100 and comparable to the state at 97. This makes Baltimore Country one of the most affordable areas to live in Maryland. 
  • Baltimore County is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as The Johns Hopkins Memory and Alzheimer's Treatment Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
