What to Consider About Memory Care in Allegheny County
Allegheny County is home to 1,223,048 people, and 18.4 percent of the population is aged 65 and older, which is the most likely demographic to be living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. About 13.6 percent of the state's population have cognitive ailments and may benefit from an Alzheimer's Special Care Unit (SCU), as they're known across Pennsylvania. The Office of Long-Term Living is responsible for licensing and governing the operation of these SKUs, such as the 30 scattered throughout Allegheny County.
- Allegheny County's temperate climate is similar to the national average with 39 inches of rain, 31 inches of snow and 162 sunny days as compared to 39, 26 and 205, respectively. Summertime highs climb to the low 80s, and January lows fall to 22 degrees. The county's Sperling's Comfort Index is 51, which is three points lower than the national average.
- The violent crime rate of 37.6 in Allegheny County's is not far above the U.S. average of 31.1, and the property crime rate is less than two points lower than the national norm of 38.1 at 36.8.
