What to Consider About Memory Care in Brookeville
The tiny town of Brookeville, which is located in Montgomery County, Maryland, is home to less than 200 people, over 22 percent of whom are age 65 and over. In Montgomery County, Alzheimer's disease and dementia are particularly prevalent, with 12 percent of Medicare recipients currently living with these diseases. To support this population, the county has taken strides to become a dementia-friendly community.
Brookeville has two memory care facilities, and there are 10 more in surrounding cities. In most cases, memory care services are provided in assisted living facilities, which are officially called assisted living programs.
- Social Security benefits and income from public pensions are not taxable in Maryland, and while all other forms of retirement income are taxed, seniors can claim a fairly large deduction to partially or completely offset the expense. This may leave more money in the memory care budget.
- While overall living costs are about 70 percent higher in Brookeville than they are in the nation as a whole, health care expenses are on par with state and national averages. This may be a consideration for families and seniors who have tight memory care budgets.
- The air quality in Brookeville is decent, which may make it a good option for seniors who have asthma or cardiovascular disease. The American Lung Association gave Montgomery County a C for ozone pollution, an A for short-term particle pollution and a passing score for annual particle pollution.
- Summers in Brookeville tend to be hot with July highs in the upper-80s, and winters are chilly with January lows in the 20s. The area receives about 22 inches of snowfall annually, which is slightly less than the U.S. average. This may make local travel during the winter months a little easier for families visiting their loved ones in memory care.
