What to Consider About Memory Care in Olmsted County

Olmsted County has nearly 155,000 residents, including over 23,000 of whom are aged 65 and over. In this county, a little less than 9 percent of seniors who receive Medicare benefits are living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, compared to the national average of 11.3 percent. There are four memory care facilities in Olmsted County, all of which are in Rochester. 

In this Olmsted County and the rest of Minnesota, memory care facilities are officially called special care units. In many cases, memory care services are offered in assisted living facilities, which may also be called housing with services establishments in the state. Facilities that offer memory care must register annually with the Department of Health.

  • The air quality in Olmsted County is fair, with the American Lung Association giving this county an A for ozone pollution, a C for short-term particle pollution and a passing score for annual particle pollution. This may benefit seniors who have respiratory conditions.
  • Minnesota subjects all types of retirement income to state income tax, including Social Security benefits. This may be a concern for Olmsted County seniors and families with tight memory care budgets.  
  • The cost of living in Olmsted County is on par with the national average and about 6 percent lower than the state average. Similarly, healthcare expenses are about two percent below the state average and 16 percent below the national average.

The region receives 49 inches of annual snowfall, which is nearly double the national average.
