What to Consider About Memory Care in Monroe Township
In Monroe Township, New Jersey, more than 36 percent of the population is aged 65 or over, which is well above the national average of 15.6 percent. There are three memory care facilities available in Monroe Township and another 30 in the surrounding areas for those who are dealing with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. These memory care facilities, which are officially known as Assisted Living Residences (ALRs), are licensed and regulated by the Department of Health and Senior Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Monroe Township
- Families may have a good reason to be concerned about the cost of living in Monroe Township since it is nearly 50 percent higher than the national average. Housing prices, which are double the national average, are the largest contributor to these high costs.
- New Jersey's tax policies are somewhat friendly for seniors. Social security income is completely exempt from income tax, but retirement accounts and pensions are partially taxed. Income below $65,000 is taxed at a low rate which may make care in the state more affordable for families with limited budgets.
- The American Lung Association has determined that, due to an excessive level of high ozone days, Middlesex County gets an F for ozone pollution. Seniors are particularly vulnerable to this problem as ozone can cause problems with the respiratory and cardiovascular system.
- Monroe Township is considered a safe place for seniors with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia to live. Violent crime is seven points below the national average, and property crime is 19 points below the national average. It is also relatively safer than the NYC metro area as a whole.
Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Monroe Township
Monroe Township-area memory care communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all memory care communities in New Jersey are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in New Jersey page for more information about these laws.
