What to Consider About Memory Care in Jackson
Jackson, located in central New Jersey, has a population of 57,000 people, and 18 percent of them are 65 and over. This age group is the most likely to experience Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease and other dementias.
To care for citizens in Jackson living with Alzheimer's disease, there are three memory care facilities in town and nine in nearby communities. In New Jersey, memory care facilities may be stand-alone properties or co-located with assisted living facilities.
- On a scale of one (low) to 100 (high), Jackson ranks at 22 for violent crime, which is lower than the national average of 31. Property crime here is 20.4 compared to the U.S. average of 38.1. These lower crime statistics may help families members moving to Jackson feel a bit safer.
- Social Security benefits aren't taxed in New Jersey. Other types of retirement income are taxable, but Jackson seniors over 62 are eligible for a large deduction on this income. This may allow for more money in the budget for memory care.
- Jackson receives 7 inches more rain than the national average but has approximately the same number of sunny days. The summer highs reach the 80s and winter lows hit the 20s, so it's a good idea to ask memory care staff what provisions are taken to keep residents comfortable during extreme temperatures.
- Jackson's air quality is 72, much worse than the U.S. average of 58, based on the number of hazardous air pollutants, as determined by the EPA in the National Air Toxics Assessment. The analysis forecasts the risks of respiratory illness and cancer risk based on air quality. This may not have a direct impact on seniors living in memory care facilities, but it's a good idea to learn whether residents are exposed to the poor-quality outdoor air.
