What to Consider About Memory Care in Arlington County

Arlington County is Virginia’s ninth largest county with 234,965 people. Over 10 percent of these residents are are seniors aged 65 and older, the age group for Alzheimer's disease and other dementia to set in. To support these people, there are 18 memory care facilities in the area.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • The taxes in Arlington County, like elsewhere in Virginia, are friendly for seniors. The state does not tax social security retirement benefits and only partially-taxes retirement accounts and public and private pension incomes. Residents are also not charged tax on inheritances or estates. Seniors living in Arlington may find that these tax breaks result in more money to put toward memory care.
  • Virginia is not a particularly warm state, with an average high of 69.5 degrees. It does, however, escape the worst of winter with an average low of 48 degrees and an average of only 14.5 inches of snow per year. Seniors who prefer dryer climates should be aware that Virginia receives a good amount of precipitation year round, with 43.2 inches of rainfall annually.   
  • The cost of living in Arlington County is very high at 92 percent above the national average. This does not make it a good choice for seniors who are concerned about keeping a tight budget in their memory care plans. The median home cost is $684,400 compared to the Virginian median cost of $252,700. The area's unemployment rate is 2 percent, which is significantly lower than the national average of 3.8 percent. This may be encouraging to working family members of seniors with dementia.   
  • Arlington County is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as the Virginia Health Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
