What to Consider About Memory Care in Wyoming
The city of Wyoming is the largest suburb of Grand Rapids in western Michigan, a region where it's estimated that 18,000 people are living with dementia. According to the Alzheimer's Association, this illness is primarily diagnosed in seniors. Wyoming has a population of roughly 76,000 people, about 10 percent of whom are age 65 and over.
As many as one in 10 of Wyoming's seniors may be diagnosed with Alzheimer's. To provide care for those with dementia, the area has 10 memory care facilities, with two in the city and another eight in the nearby cities of Grand Rapids, Kentwood, Jenison and Byron Center. Memory care facilities in Michigan may be located within their own building or in assisted living facilities, which are also known as homes for the aged.
- Wyoming has warm summers and chilly, snowy winters. The July highs are in the low-80s, which may appeal to seniors who enjoy relaxing outdoors, and January lows are in the upper-teens. The city receives about 70 inches of annual snowfall, which is more than twice the U.S. average and should be a consideration for families who travel locally to visit their loved one in memory care.
- The overall cost of living in Wyoming is 9 percent below the national average, and healthcare in this city costs about 17 percent less than elsewhere in the country. This city may be a good option for caregivers who are managing seniors with a chronic condition like Alzheimer's disease.
