What to Consider About Memory Care in Sewell
Located in southern New Jersey, Sewell is an unincorporated community in Mantua Township with a population of 15,000 residents, 14 percent of whom are 65 and older. Some of these seniors may be among the state's 600,000 people living with Alzheimer's and other dementias. Those who require specialized attention can choose from two memory care facilities in Sewell and five more in surrounding communities.
In Sewell and throughout New Jersey, memory care facilities may have their own building or share a location with assisted living facilities. These secure facilities must have staff trained in memory care and provide specific programming to enhance patients' cognitive abilities.
- Social Security benefits aren't taxed in New Jersey. Other types of retirement income are taxable, but Sewell seniors over 62 may receive a large deduction on such income. This may add more money to their budget for memory care.
- Crime is ranked on a scale of 1 (low) to 100 (high), and Sewell is rated a 23 compared to the U.S. average of 31 for violent crimes. For property crimes, Sewell ranks at 18.6, which is much lower than the national average of 38. Although memory care facilities have locked exits and surveillance cameras, Sewell's low crime rates may be comforting to family members concerned about their loved one's safety.
- Sewell's cost of living is 117 compared to a national average of 100. However, it's less than the state's index of 133, due mainly to lower healthcare costs in Sewell.
- Sewell's air quality rating is 61 and slightly better than the U.S. average of 58. This rating is based on the EPA's National Air Toxics Assessment, which analyzes respiratory illness and cancer risk caused by pollutants. Family members visiting seniors in local memory care facilities may not notice a difference between Sewell's air quality and that of other cities.
