What to Consider About Memory Care in Jackson County

Jackson County, which is home to about 160,000 residents, about 17 percent of whom are aged 65 and over, is served by the Michigan Great Lakes Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, almost 13 percent of seniors receiving Medicare benefits are living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. 

While some memory care facilities in Jackson County may occupy their own freestanding building, in most cases, dementia care is provided in assisted living facilities. In this county, as in all of Michigan, these facilities may also be called homes for the aged and are licensed and monitored by the Department of Human Services. Jackson County has three memory care facilities, all of which are located in the city of Jackson. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • In Jackson County, seniors aged 65 and over receive a tax deduction on their retirement income. Social Security benefits are not taxed at the state level, which may leave more money for memory care expenses.  
  • Winters in Jackson County can be harsh, with lows around 16 degrees and an average of 37 inches of annual snowfall, which may make seasonal travel difficult for families visiting loved ones in local memory care facilities. Summers are comfortable, however, with July highs in the low-80s.
  • The cost of living in Jackson County is about 10 percent below the national median, and while healthcare expenses are a little higher in this county than in the rest of Michigan, they are still about 6 percent lower than the nationwide median. This may make the city a good option for seniors with tight memory care budgets.

On a 100-point scale, with a higher score indicating more crime, the region's property crime is rated 41.9, almost 4 points higher than the national average, and the violent crime rate is 44.8, roughly 13 points higher than the national average. Memory care facilities protect residents and their belongings by using alarm systems and security cameras.
