What to Consider About Memory Care in Woodbury

Providers must adhere to minimum health and safety practices standards as part of this license, and families can report violations directly to the Department of Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Woodbury

 

  • Woodbury's overall cost of living trends sit at 16% above the national norm, but much of this steep cost stems from 51% higher-than-usual housing prices. Health care expenses exceed the U.S. average by 5%, and groceries cost 7% less.

 

  • Low crime rates make Woodbury safer than 86% of other cities nationwide. Only about 15.3 people out of every 1,000 experience a crime in Woodbury each year, earning the city an A rating from CrimeGrade.

 

  • Summer temperatures remain 4 degrees Fahrenheit below the national average of 85.8, but temperatures typically drop very low in winter, resulting in lows of 5.6 degrees Fahrenheit vs. the U.S. norm of 21.7. However, memory care communities usually have heating and air conditioning to maintain comfortable temperatures regardless of the weather. The UV index hits 3.1 across Woodbury, compared to 4.3 nationwide, benefiting seniors who enjoy spending time outdoors on warmer days.

 

 

  • The R.H. Stafford Library hosts monthly memory care café services in Woodbury. Families can visit these events alone to learn more about a loved one's Alzheimer's diagnosis and care options, or they can take seniors with them to socialize in a safe, relaxed environment.

 

  • Air quality sometimes dips into the moderate category of the U.S. Air Quality Index but typically sits in the good category, suggesting minimal problems for most people. The American Lung Association also assigns Woodbury a relatively good B rating for ozone levels.
