What to Consider About Memory Care in Plymouth
In the Midwestern state of Minnesota, it's reported that 94,000 people are currently living with Alzheimer's disease, a disease that is the primary cause of dementia. According to the Alzheimer's Association, the majority of cases are diagnosed in adults over the age of 65. Plymouth, which is situated in the southeastern region of the state, has a senior community that makes up nearly 15 percent of the 78,000-person population.
Memory care facilities are established to meet the needs of those with dementia. In Plymouth, as in all of the state, memory care facilities may also be called special care units, or SCUs. Plymouth is home to two SCUs, and there are three dozen more in nearby cities. They are required to register annually with the Department of Health.
- Plymouth seniors pay income tax on all forms of retirement income, including their Social Security benefits. This may affect how much money can be put into the memory care budget.
- Summers in Plymouth are warm and humid, with July highs in the 80s and humid conditions more than 50 percent of the time. Winters in this city are harsh, with January lows in the single digits and about 52 inches of annual snowfall. This may impede travel to doctor's appointments or make it difficult for families to visit their loved one in memory care.
- Plymouth's crime rate is relatively low, which may appeal to families who are helping their loved one transition to memory care. On a 100-point scale on which a lower score indicates less crime, the city's property crime rate is 25.4 and the violent crime rate is 24.8. This is compared to the national median of 38.1 and 31.1, respectively.
- The overall cost of living in Plymouth is about 30 percent higher than the national average, mainly due to the cost of housing. Health care expenses are about 13 percent below the nationwide median, which may help seniors afford the cost of managing a chronic condition such as Alzheimer's disease.
