What to Consider About Memory Care in Holland

Memory care services in Holland are typically provided in assisted living facilities, which are officially called adult foster care or homes for the aged. These facilities are licensed by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, which outlines the scope of care the facilities must provide along with rules related to staffing, care planning and dementia services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Holland

  • Holland Hospital is a nationally recognized hospital that provides state-of-the-art medical services and care to local seniors. This 189-bed facility specializes in a range of age-related services, including arthritis, cardiovascular health and orthopedic services. Health care costs in the city come in about 11% below national norms, and though there are only 132 doctors per 100,000 residents compared to 210 nationally, memory care communities typically have visiting physicians who provide routine care.
  • Holland residents who are 60 or older can obtain transportation services through the county’s Senior and Disability Volunteer Driver Program. This transportation service is available for legal and medical appointments as well as shopping errands.
  • Seniors in Holland don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits, and large deductions are available to significantly reduce what they owe for other types of retirement income. These tax benefits may help seniors afford memory care expenses in Holland.
  • The air quality in Holland is moderate, making the city a relatively good retirement option for seniors sensitive to pollution. Although the city scores an F from the American Lung Association for ozone pollution, it gets a passing score for annual particle pollution and an A for 24-hour particle pollution.
  • The cost of living in Holland is consistent with state norms and about 9% cheaper than the national average, which may make retiring to this city a financially viable option for many seniors. Housing costs are high relative to the rest of the state, but seniors with dementia can usually avoid this expense by transitioning to memory care.
  • Summers in Holland are pleasant, with average summer highs reaching the low 80s. Although July is often muggy, humidity levels are generally negligible for the rest of the year. Winters are chilly with lows in the 20s, and the city gets about 79 inches of annual snowfall. Memory care communities have heightened security and fully enclosed outdoor spaces to prevent wandering in unsafe weather conditions.
