• Unlike most states, which exempt Social Security income from state income tax, Utah fully taxes all types of retirement income, including Social Security benefits. A modest tax credit is available to seniors to offset the expense, but the state's tax laws may still impact how much money can be put toward memory care in Taylorsville.
• Taylorsville's air quality is poor, which may negatively impact the health of seniors with cardiovascular disease or a respiratory illness. Salt Lake County was given an F for ozone pollution and an F for short-term particle pollution from the American Lung Association. 
• Taylorsville is prone to extreme seasonal temperatures, with hot summers and cold, snowy winters. July highs reach into the 90s, January lows are in the low-20s, and the city sees an average annual snowfall of 61 inches. Families may want to ensure that the memory care facility they choose for their loved one takes appropriate precautions against hot and very cold weather. 
• Overall living expenses are about 15 percent higher than the national average and healthcare expenses are about 4 percent higher here than they are in the nation as a whole. However, expenses are a little lower than state averages, which may make Taylorsville a good option for families of seniors with restrictive budgets.
