What to Consider About Memory Care in Shelby Township

Shelby Township has a total population of 79,101, with 18.2 percent of its residents age 65 and over. In the state of Michigan, an estimated 180,000 residents in that age group have Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia. For those Shelby Township residents who need a greater level of supervision, two memory care facilities are within town limits, and eight more are in nearby areas, such as Rochester and Sterling Heights.

In Michigan, memory care facilities are regulated and licensed as homes for the aged by the Department of Health and Human Services. These facilities must adhere to special disclosure requirements regarding Alzheimer’s and dementia care.

  • The cost of living in Shelby Township is 82.8, which is cheaper than the Michigan average of 97 and the U.S. average of 100. Family members handling finances for memory care residents may find facility costs, healthcare and transportation are more affordable in Shelby Township than in other Michigan cities. 
  • Another factor that makes Shelby Township affordable is its tax- friendliness toward seniors on a fixed income. Social Security benefits aren’t taxed, and other types of retirement income are only partially taxed. Sales tax in the state of Michigan is also comparatively low. 
  • Winters in Shelby Township can be harsh, with January lows down to 16 degrees. It receives an estimated 74 inches of snow annually, and fewer sunny days than the U.S. average. Memory care residents may enjoy limited time outdoors due to the relatively cold climate. 
  • Shelby Township is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as the Henry Ford Macomb Health Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
