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.

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.

SCUs are required to have extra safeguards in place to keep occupants from wandering away from the SCU and to stop strangers from entering, which should help families feel that their loved ones are safe.
