What to Consider About Memory Care in Lake Oswego
In Oregon, where there are 65,000 seniors 65 and older who have been diagnosed with dementia, the need for memory care is substantial. In Lake Oswego, where nearly 20 percent of the population is over 65, seniors with dementia can choose from more than 25 memory care facilities in the area that provide residential care and support for dementia disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease.
The Oregon Department of Human Services is responsible for regulating memory care and assisted living facilities throughout Oregon, which often are housed in the same facility. Those offering memory care services are officially known as memory care communities and must have a segregated area where residents with dementia reside.
- Although temperatures are reasonably mild throughout the year in Lake Oswego, the area only gets 141 sunny days per year, which is more than 60 days less than an average U.S. city. Seniors who enjoy spending time outside in the sunshine may want to consider memory care in a region with more sunshine.
- If seniors and their loved ones have limited funds to pay for memory care, they may find living in Lake Oswego to be too expensive. The overall cost of living is more than 80 percent above the national average, with housing being the biggest factor.
- The Lake Oswego area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those that specialize in brain health and dementia care, such as Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Crime rates in Lake Oswego are incredibly low. For every 1,000 residents, only 0.82 violent crimes and 11.48 property crimes occur. By comparison, the state of Oregon sees an annual average of 2.65 violent crimes and 29.64 property crimes each year. Even with such low crime rates, it's a good idea for seniors and their loved ones to inquire about safety protocols when touring any memory care facility.
