What to Consider About Memory Care in Blaine

The Minnesota Department of Health, Health Regulation Division, licenses all memory care communities in Blaine and enforces a consistent standard of care through on-site inspections and by communicating with memory care providers. It officially recognizes memory care communities as assisted living special care units and requires them to submit written disclosures related to intake criteria, program philosophy and security features.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Blaine

 

  • Blaine doesn’t have a hospital within its limits, but Mercy Hospital has two campuses within an 8-mile radius in Fridley and Coon Rapids. This hospital ranks among the best in the region, as well as the state, and offers a full suite of inpatient, outpatient and emergency services. It ranks as a leading provider of dementia care in the Twin Cities and Upper Midwest and has neuroscience specialists who diagnose and treat memory-related conditions, such as dementia and Alzheimer's.

 

  • Blaine has a high livability score of 60 on the AARP Livability Index compared to the national average of 48, putting it in the top half of U.S. communities for favorability for seniors. Its preventable hospitalization rate comes in at 34.7 incidents per 100,000 patients compared to 38.2 nationally, and 70.6% of patients report being satisfied with the care they receive. The city also has reliable ADA-accessible public transportation, helping many families visit memory care residents.

 

  • While Minnesota serves as one of the few states that taxes Social Security benefits along with other sources of income, it helps seniors reduce their tax bills through deductions and exemptions. For example, qualified seniors subtract up to $4,560 of their income to offset the tax on Social Security benefits, and seniors who have public pensions but don’t draw Social Security income can deduct up to $12,500, helping many seniors afford memory care.

 

  • Blaine has warm, wet summers and cold, snowy winters. The warm season spans mid-May to mid-September and brings average high temperatures of 71 to 83 degrees Fahrenheit, while the cold season runs from late November through early March and has nighttime lows between 9 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. To keep residents comfortable and engaged, many memory care communities have indoor activities and amenities.

 

  • Blaine scores 22 on a total crime index, meaning the local crime rate is high compared to 78% of U.S. communities, as well as 84% of Minnesota communities. However, when controlled for population size, Blaine’s score is average, aligning with norms for similarly sized cities nationwide. This provides peace of mind for some families considering local memory care options.
