    What to Consider About Memory Care in Delaware County

    Delaware County is west of Philadelphia and adjacent to the state of Delaware with a population of 564,696, including 91,000 seniors aged 65 or older who are in the prime age bracket for people living with dementia. Many of its residents may require live-in supervision at an Alzheimer's Special Care Unit      (SCU), as Pennsylvania assisted living facilities treating patients with cognitive ailments are known. The Office of Long-Term Living is responsible for licensing and overseeing these SCUs across Pennsylvania, including the six that are located in Delaware County.

    • The air quality in Delaware County ranges from good to bad. The county received a "B" for particle pollution from the American Lung Association and an "F" for ozone levels. Seniors with asthma, lung cancer, COPD or other respiratory ailments may want to consider the effects of the county's air on their health.
    • The violent crime rate in Delaware County is 35.8 percent, which is just a few points higher than the U.S. average of 31.1, and the property crime rate is several points lower than the national norm of 38.1 at 33.2. These low rates and the laws mandating safety protocols like self-locking doors, guards and security cameras may allow families to sleep easier knowing that their loved ones are being cared for properly.
