What to Consider About Memory Care in Newtown

Newtown is a small borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, a state in which the Alzheimer's Association projects that 280,000 people currently have Alzheimer's disease. In addition to numerous resources and support for seniors and families who have been affected by Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, the community has two memory care facilities, and there are over a dozen more facilities in nearby cities, including Richboro and Yardley.

Memory care facilities in Newtown may also be referred to as special care units, or SCUs. These facilities may be located within separate, secured wings of personal care homes or assisted living residences.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Newtown

  • Newtown seniors do not pay income tax on their Social Security income, and those who are age 60 and above do not pay income tax on any other type of retirement income. The state does impose an inheritance tax, however, which affects any recipient of an inheritance.
  • The Newtown area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital specializing in brain health and dementia care located in Langhorne.
  • Newtown's crime rate is fairly low, which may allow families to feel confident that their loved ones will be safe at a memory care facility in this borough. On a scale of one to 100, with one representing low crime, the community's violent crime is rated 21.5 and property crime is rated 21.1. This is better than the respective national medians of 31.1 and 38.1. 
  • Bucks County received an F for ozone pollution from the American Lung Association, which can negatively affect the health of seniors who have asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other respiratory illnesses.
