In this county, it's projected that about 13 percent of the seniors who receive Medicare benefits are living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. The region is served by the Greater Missouri Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, which has a local office in the city of St. Louis. This organization provides a wealth of informational resources and supports for seniors with Alzheimer's and their caregivers.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Saint Louis County

 

  • According to the American Lung Association, St. Louis County's ozone pollution levels are high, with the county receiving an F for this type of pollution. The region's short-term particle pollution levels are moderate, receiving a C. This may be a consideration for families researching local memory care facilities. 
  • In Missouri, all retirement income is taxable. However, seniors can claim deductions on their Social Security benefits and public pensions. This may leave more money in the budget for memory care in St. Louis County.
  •  St. Louis County residents see hot summers with highs near 90 degrees and chilly winters with lows in the low-20s. The county averages 15 inches of snow annually, versus the national average of 26 inches, which may appeal to families who drive locally to visit a loved one in memory care here. 
  • The cost of living in St. Louis County is about 4 percent below the state median and 10 percent below the national median, which may result in more affordable memory care costs. Healthcare expenses are also relatively affordable here at a little more than five percent lower than state and national averages.
