Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Bend

  • Bend is considered one of the safest cities in Oregon. Ranked on a scale from 1 to 100, the city receives a crime index rating of 12.2 in terms of violent crime, which is lower than both the state average of 17.7 and the national median of 22.7. Property-related offenses are a bit more prevalent, though their rate of 37.2 still falls below the Oregon average of 43.4.
  • The cost of living in Bend is quite high compared to other cities in Oregon. Based on the U.S. average of 100, the city receives an index rating of 131.3, which is higher than the state median of 114.3. This is largely due to the area’s high housing costs, which are more than double the national average. Fortunately, transportation costs are low and health care costs are moderate.
  • Oregon is considered to be relatively tax-friendly toward retirees. While income from retirement accounts, such as IRAs and 401(k)s, is fully taxed, Social Security retirement benefits are exempt from state income tax. There is also no sales tax in Oregon, which can help seniors make the most of their income.
  • Bend offers a pleasant, year-round climate with four distinct seasons. While the area does receive about 21 inches of snowfall per year, winters are typically quite dry, with temperatures remaining above the mid-20s. In the summertime, temperatures reach highs around 82 degrees with low levels of humidity, which is ideal for outdoor activity.
  • Seniors can easily navigate the city using Cascades East Transit’s fixed-route bus service. Additionally, CET operates a Ride Assist program known as Bend Dial-A-Ride, which is a curb-to-curb paratransit service.
  • St. Charles Hospital is the only health care facility available to residents of Bend in the event of an emergency. The nearest major hospital is located in Portland.
  • Bend is committed to supporting its senior population through initiatives such as the Making Oregon Vital for Elders (MOVE) program. The program provides training, education and advocacy to improve the state’s ability to support the health and long-term care needs of older adults.
