What to Consider About Memory Care in Edmond

Edmond is located in the heart of Oklahoma and is home to a little less than 92,000 people, about 14 percent of whom are over the age of 65. According to the Alzheimer's Association, over 64,000 Oklahomans have Alzheimer's disease, which is a leading cause of dementia.

Families of local seniors with dementia can choose from nearly half a dozen memory care facilities, and there are 11 more facilities nearby. Memory care facilities are situated within assisted living centers, a type of assisted living facilities that are licensed to provide assistance with services or care for residents with dementia.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Edmond

 

  • Social Security benefits are tax-exempt in Oklahoma, and while other types of retirement income are subject to income tax, residents over the age of 65 can claim a $10,000 deduction. This may enable seniors with dementia to put more money toward the cost of memory care.
  • Edmond's overall crime rate is around the median for cities in Oklahoma, with roughly 50 percent of cities in the state having a higher crime rate. However, compared to other U.S. cities of similar size, Edmond's crime rate is significantly lower. This may appeal to families who are helping their loved one move to a local memory care facility.
  • The overall cost of living in Edmond is about seven percent higher than the national median and healthcare expenses are roughly 19 percent higher here than they are elsewhere in the country. This may be a concern for seniors who are managing a chronic condition like Alzheimer's disease.
  • The Edmond area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as INTEGRIS Health Edmond and OU Medicine, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
