Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Longview

 

  • Longview’s climate is mixed. The most pleasant months are April, May and October, but even the winter months are reasonably comfortable, with a score of 7.4 on the comfort index and temperatures that rarely fall below freezing, even in January. Summers, however, are hot with July highs rising up to 94 degrees Fahrenheit. Fortunately, seniors who live in memory care communities rarely have to worry about the weather because these facilities offer climate control and indoor activities.
  • Seniors in Longview can benefit from the city’s below-average cost of living, which ranks 80.9 compared to the U.S. average of 100. Housing, transportation, groceries and utilities all fall below average as well. These decreased costs can lower the price of care packages and accommodations in memory care communities.
  • Crime in Longview is something of a concern. Both violent crime and property crime rates are above average, with the violent crime rate at 31.4 compared to 22.7 nationally and the property crime rate at 56.8 compared to 35.4. However, memory care communities offer a high level of security to give seniors and their families greater peace of mind. Most facilities have video monitoring as well as 24-hour staffing and secured entries.
  • The Longview community is served by Longview Regional Medical Center, a 224-bed hospital that offers primary and emergency care. Specialties at this facility include cardiology, stroke care and orthopedics. Rehabilitation is also available.
  • Seniors suffering from memory loss can visit the Good Shepherd Institute for Healthy Living Memory Care Café each month, which can offer a change of pace for those living in memory care communities.
