Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Bismarck

 

  • Bismarck has around 50% more doctors per 100,000 people than the U.S. average, giving seniors in the area a good chance of finding a primary care physician they like. Local hospitals, including CHI St. Alexius Bismarck, provide emergency care and specialist services.  
  • The overall cost of living in Bismarck is 5% lower than the national average. Despite the high costs of groceries, health care costs are less than both the state and national averages. This can help seniors save more money for memory care. 
  • Bismarck is a good choice for seniors who like comfortable summers and white winters. In summer, the average temperature is around 75 degrees Fahrenheit, while winters average 15 degrees, with approximately 46 inches of snow each year. 
  • The State of the Air 2023 Report gives Bismarck a mixed grade for air quality. Although it has a failing grade for 24-hour particle pollution, the city earns an A for ozone pollution. It also has a passing grade for annual particle pollution, meaning that overall the air tends to be healthy for seniors. 
  • Bismarck has a crime rate of 38 crimes per 1,000 residents, which is higher than 98% of other communities in North Dakota. Despite this, the violent crime rate is lower than the national average, with much of the crime rate coming from burglary and theft. However, memory care facilities are generally very secure, which can help protect seniors from property crime. 
  • Bismarck is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities. This means that the city's leaders are working to make it a pleasant place to live for people of all ages.
