The 3 Best Memory Care Facilities in Asheboro, NC for 2024

In Asheboro, a city of about 27,000 people, 17% of the population is aged 65 and over. The Alzheimer’s Association reports an expected increase of 17% in the number of North Carolina residents living with dementia in coming years, highlighting the need for effective dementia care and treatment solutions in communities such as Asheboro. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there was a 10% increase in Alzheimer’s-related deaths in the Asheboro region between 2016 and 2020. While this is smaller compared to the 21% increase in deaths from all causes, it points to the need for memory support.

These facilities provide customized care for the varying stages of memory loss. Residents have comfortable housing with access to secured indoor and outdoor common areas, along with daily meals and hands-on assistance with daily living activities.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Asheboro

The North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation licenses memory care facilities as special care units within assisted living residences. It further imposes a standardized set of rules related to staffing, care planning and nutrition services. In addition to complying with the rules all assisted living facilities follow, memory care facilities follow expanded rules for staff training and building security.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Asheboro

  • Two public transportation agencies serve Asheboro, providing an alternative to memory care facilities’ transportation services and enabling those who don’t drive to visit loved ones in memory care. The Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation offers bus transportation and vanpool service and operates Route 10, an express service that runs from Greensboro to Asheboro. Additionally, RCATS provides curb-to-curb transportation services for seniors and those with disabilities.
  • The American Lung Association reports that the Greensboro metropolitan area, where Asheboro is located, is among the cleanest in the nation for ozone pollution. However, it ranks in the bottom 37% for particle pollution. While this may be a consideration for those sensitive to environmental irritants, such as people living with heart or lung conditions, many memory care facilities have facility-wide air purifiers to support residents’ health and comfort.
  • Asheboro is home to Randolph Health, a full-service hospital that offers a full range of services, such as joint care, home health services and stroke care. It administers PACE services to qualified individuals through its StayWell Senior Care program, and it provides 24-hour emergency medical support.
  • North Carolina taxes most forms of retirement income at a flat rate of 4.99%. While the state doesn’t have deductions specifically for retirement income, its standard deduction is relatively large at $12,750. Additionally, it exempts all Social Security benefits from taxation, which may help some seniors and families pay for memory care services in Asheboro.
  • Asheboro has warm, humid summers and short, mild winters, offering a comfortable environment for seniors who enjoy outdoor activities. Daytime temperatures range from 50 degrees Fahrenheit in January to 88 degrees Fahrenheit in July, and humidity levels tend to be oppressive throughout the summer. Fortunately, many memory care facilities in Asheboro have amenities such as individual climate controls and fully secured courtyards to promote residents’ comfort and prevent unsafe wandering in hot weather.
