What to Consider About Memory Care in Greensboro

Memory care and other senior living communities in Greensboro are licensed by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services’ Division of Health Service Regulation. It oversees these senior care homes, ensuring their compliance with state senior care standards.

  • Greensboro is a relatively affordable place to live. Its overall cost of living is 17.3% lower than the nationwide median, with housing and transportation costs being particularly low. 
  • In the city, there’s an average annual rainfall level of about 45 inches, which is more than the national midpoint of 38 inches. However, Greensboro gets only 5 inches of snow per year compared to the nation’s 28. 
  • The area has more physicians than many U.S. cities, with 222 Medicare-registered doctors compared to the U.S. average of 210. There are also several hospitals and medical centers in the area, including the Cone Health Moses Cone Hospital, which has been recognized for its high-quality senior and cardiac care. 
  • Violent crime rates in Greensboro are 3.3 points above the national median of 22.7, and property crime rates are 17.4 points above the country’s average of 35.4. However, residents of memory care communities can count on advanced security measures to keep them safe. 
  • As part of Guilford County, Greensboro is a member of AARP’s Network of Age-Friendly Communities. The city is committed to increasing the quality of life of its elderly population by increasing access to health services, transportation and social engagement opportunities for seniors. 
  • South Carolina is relatively tax-friendly toward seniors. Residents of the state pay no tax on their Social Security income and can enjoy a $15,000 deduction on other types of retirement income.
