What to Consider About Memory Care in Lafayette County

Lafayette County has a little over 100,000 residents, including a senior community that makes up about 12 percent of the population. According to data published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a little less than 10 percent of seniors in this county who rely on Medicare have Alzheimer's disease or dementia.  

In Lafayette County, as in all of the state, memory care services are provided within licensed assisted living facilities that have separate Alzheimer’s disease/dementia care units. These facilities are required to meet special requirements regarding staffing, training and facility features. The county has two memory care facilities, both of which are in the city of Oxford.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Lafayette County seniors do not pay state income tax on any type of retirement income, even that which is taxed at the federal level. This may benefit seniors and families with limited memory care budgets.
  • The overall cost of living in Lafayette County is high relative to the state average, but it is about 2 percent lower than the national average, which may result in relatively low memory care expenses. Healthcare expenses, including doctor's office visits and hospital stays, are slightly lower here than elsewhere in the state and on par with the national average.  
  • On a 100-point scale where a higher value indicates more crime, the respective crime rates for violent crime and property crime are 60.4 and 62.5. This is compared to the national averages of 31.1 and 38.1. To keep memory care residents safe, facilities often install security features like door and window sensors and surveillance cameras.  
  • In Lafayette County, the summer high reaches 91 degrees and the winter low falls to 29. There's an average of 215 sunny days annually, and the county receives 57 inches of rain yearly and just two inches of snow. The region's climate may be well-suited for seniors who enjoy being outdoors.
