Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Grants Pass

 

  • Grants Pass has a mild climate, with pleasant summers and cool winters. Although the area has slightly fewer sunny days per year, 196, than the national average of 205, it sees less precipitation than many destinations around the nation. Snow is rare and the city receives roughly 30 inches of rain annually.   
  • Although the city’s cost of living is similar to the national average, seniors in Grants Pass have lower overall costs than in many other parts of Oregon. Transportation costs are especially low when compared with national norms, and costs for housing and groceries are below the state averages. The lack of state sales tax may also help locals get more for their money.
  • Regarding crime rates, the violent crime rate of 22.1 in Grants Pass is in line with the national average of 22.7. Property crime is more common; the local rate of 77.7 is more than double that of the country’s average. Seniors concerned about living alone may feel more at ease in a residential care setting, such as a memory care community, which usually has security measures.
  • Although Grants Pass has 60 fewer doctors per capita than the national average, the city offers affordable health care. Locals generally pay around 12% less for hospital treatments and physician appointments than the nationwide average rate.
  • Located in Grants Pass, Asante Three Rivers Medical Center received the Pathway to Excellence accreditation several times. It offers routine and urgent medical services, and it is especially noted for its orthopedic services.
