What to Consider About Memory Care in Washington County

Located in the southwest corner of the state and a short drive from Las Vegas, Washington County is home to 165,000 residents, 21 percent of whom are 65 years or older. Residents in that age group who have Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia can choose among three memory care facilities in the county.

These facilities are known as Type 2 assisted living facilities in Washington County, as they are in all of Utah. The Utah Department of Health, Facility Licensing and Certification licenses and regulates them.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Washington County has a desert climate that feels more akin to Las Vegas than to most of the rest of Utah. Summer highs average close to 100 degrees, and the area gets more than 250 sunny days per year. However, winter is a real thing in Washington County, with average nighttime temperatures below freezing and an average of seven inches of snow per year. With 79 days that fall within the comfortable range of 70 to 80 degrees, Washington County gives memory care residents plenty of opportunities for supervised time outdoors.
  • The cost of living in Washington County is 11 percent higher than the national average. Residents in the area spend about 12 percent more on healthcare compared to those who live in a typical U.S. city. However, groceries and utilities are priced at or below the national average.
  • Washington County residents who receive Social Security benefits or other forms of retirement income must pay five percent state income tax on these earnings. However, most seniors receive a credit that offsets at least a portion of their state tax liability.
  • The violent and property crime rates in Washington County are 34.3 and 40.5 out of 100, respectively, with 100 being worst. These numbers are slightly higher than the national rates of 31.1 and 38.1. That said, memory care facilities are safe places to live. Most feature guards, cameras, exterior locking doors and other security measures.
