What to Consider About Memory Care in Wright County
Wright County is a quiet area between Minneapolis and St. Cloud that's home to more than 16,000 people aged 65 or over. Some of these seniors, a small portion of the 94,000 in all of Minnesota, may have Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. The state licenses and regulates Home Care Providers with special care units (SCUs) to take care of this population. The county has three memory care facilities for those seniors.
Wright County has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital specializing in brain health and dementia care located in Minneapolis.
- While below freezing temperatures in Wright County are normal during winter with average lows of three degrees, summers are usually comfortable with highs around 82 degrees. Families may want to check that their chosen memory care facility has adequate heating solutions and contingency plans in place for mechanical problems that may occur due to frigid weather.
