What to Consider About Memory Care in Chester County

Chester County's population is 519,293, with 15.8 percent aged 65 and older. Alzheimer's disease and related impairments are already affecting more than 280,000 Pennsylvania citizens, and that figure is expected to increase to 320,000 by 2025. An estimated 10.9 percent of the state's population who are enrolled in Medicare have dementia and could benefit from supervision in an Alzheimer's Special Care Unit (SCU), as they're called in Pennsylvania.

These units are licensed by the Office of Long-Term Living, which puts strict regulations in place regarding the facilities' accommodations and operation. Families can choose from 13 SCUs available throughout Chester County.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Retirees 60 and older in Pennsylvania enjoy the tax-exempt status of their pensions, retirement accounts, and Social Security benefits. The sales tax is also low, and between the two tax breaks, families may have some leeway to set aside more money for memory care in Chester County.
  • Chester County's violent crime rate of 19.2 is well below the U.S. average of 31.1, and the property crime rate is nearly 50 percent of the national norm. Seniors living in SCUs have extra security protocols to prevent them from wandering and to keep the facility safe.
  • Chester County's overall cost of living is 32 points higher than the U.S. and state medians of 100 with housing being the highest cost. Healthcare is eight points higher than the state norm at 115. Families on a fixed income may need to reconfigure their budgets to afford the expense of an SCU in Chester County.
  • The air quality in Chester County is excellent for particle pollution but poor for ozone, according to the American Lung Association, which gives the area an "A" and an "F," respectively. Seniors may want to consider the effects of regular exposure to high levels of ozone on their health, especially those with respiratory ailments.
