What to Consider About Memory Care in Coos Bay

The Oregon Department of Human Services licenses and oversees all memory care communities in Coos Bay, promoting a consistent standard of care through annual licensing processes and routine inspections.

Additionally, the department administers training programs for caregivers and directors.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Coos Bay

 

  • On the AARP Livability Index, Coos Bay scores 57 out of 100 points, indicating that it’s among the more favorable cities in the nation for retirees. It offers an environment that encourages engagement through 4.5 cultural institutions per 10,000 people, along with 1.6 grocery stores and 1.3 parks within a half-mile of anywhere in the city, providing early-stage engagement activities for those with memory loss.

 

  • Coos Bay has one of the highest crime rates in the state and nation, with the city reporting 66 occurrences annually per 1,000 people. This runs higher than 99% of U.S. communities and 98% of Oregon cities, and it surpasses crime rates in other cities with similar population sizes. Fortunately, memory care communities have features such as security gates, fully enclosed outdoor living areas and alarm systems, making them a safer alternative to living alone.

 

  • In Coos Bay, seniors don’t pay state income taxes on Social Security benefits, and they can claim a small credit to reduce the burden on what they pay in taxes on pension income. Additionally, the state doesn’t have a sales tax, saving seniors money on clothing, food and medication purchases.

 

  • The overall cost of living in Coos Bay surpasses the national average by 12%, which may be a consideration for those seeking affordable memory care services. However, while high housing and utility prices may drive up the cost of residential services, seniors typically spend about 8% less on health care here than in a typical U.S. city, indicating economical care for those with chronic health conditions.

 

  • Temperatures in Coos Bay run mild throughout the year, with daytime highs ranging from 52 degrees Fahrenheit in the coldest part of the winter to 68 degrees Fahrenheit in the warmest part of the summer. To help residents enjoy the pleasant weather, many memory care communities plan outdoor activities, such as supervised picnics and walks.
