The 5 Best Memory Care Facilities in Middletown, OH for 2024

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, it’s estimated that 6.7 million Americans have Alzheimer’s with older adults having the highest risk. Seniors 65 and older account for 17% of Middletown’s 51,000 residents, putting that segment of the population at risk of cognitive disorders and potentially in need of dementia care. In Middletown, CDC data shows that Alzheimer’s-related deaths have increased by 42.34% from 2016 to 2020, faster than the overall death rate, which increased by 33.41% during the same period.

Fortunately, high-quality dementia care programs may help support good health and slow cognitive decline. Communities designed for memory care offer enhanced security features, such as enclosed courtyards and keypad entrances, to keep residents safe. Wayfinding features, cognitive support programming, therapies and specially trained staff members add to the value of living in a memory care community.

In this guide, seniors can explore the pros and cons of Middletown, information on memory care costs and other care options to consider. This guide also details financial assistance options and agencies that support individuals with cognitive impairments.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Middletown

Middletown memory care communities fall under the jurisdiction of the Ohio Department of Health, which oversees all memory care facilities throughout the state. It handles all licensing and inspects residential care facilities in the state. The agency also investigates complaints against these communities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Middletown

  • Middletown’s cost of living is 22.3% lower than the national average and 5% lower than the Ohio average, making it more affordable for seniors. Living in a memory care community helps control costs, thanks to fixed monthly rates and no required maintenance fees.
  • Seniors have access to health care at Atrium Medical Center, which includes a Level III trauma center, primary stroke center and neuroscience department that works with Alzheimer’s patients. Kettering Health Middletown is also an option, offering emergency care and specialties including its brain and spine department, which treats patients with dementia. 
  • The crime rates in Middletown are higher than average. Violent crime ranks 35.9 on a 100-point scale compared to the national rate of 22.7. Property crime ranks 95 while the U.S. ranking is 35.4. However, memory care communities are secure facilities with controlled entrances, which gives residents increased security. 
  • Middletown experiences four distinct seasons for seniors who like weather variety. However, the average snowfall is only 12 inches, which is lower than the national average of 28 inches. This makes it possible to still get around well in the winter and avoid getting overwhelmed by snow. 
  • The air quality in Middletown ranks a little lower than the U.S. average with a rating of 47 out of 100. Many memory care facilities work hard to create clean, safe indoor environments and may include air filtration systems for a healthier environment.
