What to Consider About Memory Care in Lafayette Hill
Lafayette Hill is home to around 10,500 people, and almost 20 percent of the population is aged 65 and over. This is the age group most at risk of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, conditions that affect over 400,000 Pennsylvanians. There are 21 memory care facilities offering support to seniors in the city who are affected by the disease.
Facilities with dementia care units must provide specialized staff training. They must also meet specific requirements around staff numbers and the environment provided to residents. This is monitored by the Office of Long-Term Living.
- The Lafayette Hill area is home to world-class medical facilities, such as Chestnut Hill Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness. Hospitals specializing in brain health and dementia care can be found less than 12 miles away in Jeanes Hospital.
- Lafayette Hill is located just outside of Philadelphia, a city that has poor air quality. The State of the Air 2018 report places Philadelphia in the top 25 most polluted cities in both ozone pollution and year-round particle pollution. This poor air quality may impact the health of seniors in Lafayette Hill, especially those with respiratory conditions.
- All forms of retirement income are tax-exempt for people aged 60 and over in Pennsylvania. This includes Social Security benefits, pensions and funds from retirement accounts. Sales taxes in the state are also low, among the lowest in the country. This can lead to a very low tax bill for seniors allowing families to put more money towards memory care.
- Lafayette Hill has an overall crime rate of 8 crimes per 1,000 residents, which is lower than 67 percent of Pennsylvania's other towns and cities. The violent crime rate is less than one per 1,000 residents, compared to the state average of 3.13. The property crime rate is 7.91, less than half the Pennsylvania average of 16.49. This may be reassuring for families concerned about the safety of their elderly loved ones.
