Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Summit County is known for cold winters and abundant snowfall. The area receives an average of 163 inches (more than 13 feet) of snow accumulation each year. However, the county also has warm, sunny summers, with highs typically around 84 degrees and more than 63 days per year within the comfortable range of 70 to 80. Memory care residents who enjoy watching the seasons change will likely be happy with the weather in Summit County.
  • Like most resort areas, Summit County is an expensive place to live. Its cost of living is 75 percent more than average, and housing in the area costs more than three times what it does in a typical U.S. city. Healthcare and groceries are more reasonable but still cost slightly higher than average. Memory care residents and their families may want to examine the numbers more closely and make sure the area will be affordable.
  • Utah has a 5 percent flat income tax, and it applies to Social Security benefits and other retirement income. Seniors can receive a small credit against their tax liability.
  • Crime in Summit County is about average. The area's violent and property crime rates of 30.9 and 39.3, respectively, trend very closely to the national rates of 31.1 and 38.1. Given the abundance of security features offered by most memory care facilities, residents do not have much reason to worry about personal safety.
