The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Taylorsville, UT for 2023

The city of Taylorsville is home to nearly 60,000 people, with adults aged 65 and over making up 11 percent of the population. According to the Alzheimer's Association, 31,000 Utah seniors have Alzheimer's disease, which is the leading cause of dementia. 

Taylorsville has one memory care facility, and there are nearly two dozen more nearby. While memory care facilities may be freestanding, as is the case with Taylorsville's facility, most are located within Type II assisted living facilities. All these facilities are licensed by the Department of Health.

• 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.
