What to Consider About Memory Care in Sussex County

Sussex County, New Jersey, is located in the northern part of the state and considered to be part of the New York metropolitan area. It's estimated that over 180,000 residents of the state of New Jersey are living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. These conditions are especially prevalent among the 65 and older population. Fifteen percent of Sussex County's population of 144,000 are seniors. From that demographic, 11 percent have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. Sussex County is home to two memory care facilities to treat and house these individuals. 

The New Jersey Department of Health licenses memory care facilities, known as Dementia Care Homes. Regulations for these facilities include specialized care for Alzheimer's patients and focused staff training. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • New Jersey does not levy state income tax on Social Security benefits. However, withdrawals from IRAs and other retirement accounts are taxed as income. Sussex County residents, as in all of New Jersey, are taxed on a sliding scale based on total annual income. Families budgeting for a loved one's memory care may wish to consider this when removing money from retirement investments. 
  • The cost of living in Sussex County is roughly 25 percent higher than the national average, measuring 123.5 compared to the baseline of 100. Housing costs, at 120 compared to 100, is the main reason for this high average. Higher housing costs may increase memory care operating costs and the fees that residents pay. Healthcare costs, which are important to seniors in memory care, are slightly lower than the national average. 
  • Weather in Sussex County means cold winters with lots of snow and lows dropping into the teens. These cold temperatures may be uncomfortable for some seniors. Summers are warm and humid, with highs only climbing into the upper-80s. Seniors sensitive to higher temperatures may enjoy living here. 
  • Ocean County is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia, such as Newton Memorial Hospital and Advocare, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

Review of Ave Care at Newton, Inc. - CLOSED

I like Ave Care. It is a little bit more inexpensive. It seems to be run by a couple that seems to care. Also, it is small. That’s probably my first choice at this point.
