What to Consider About Memory Care in Harrisonburg

Harrisonburg, which is nestled in the Shenandoah Valley, is home to over 54,000 people and a senior community that makes up nearly 10 percent of the population. It is situated in the western region of Virginia, a state where more than 140,000 people are living with Alzheimer's disease. To support the local population with dementia, the Harrisonburg area has five memory care facilities, including two in the city proper and an additional three nearby. 

Harrisonburg memory care facilities may also be referred to as special care units, or SCUs. While some SCUs have their own dedicated building, others are located within assisted living facilities that meet staffing, training and structural requirements outlined by the Virginia Department of Social Services. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Harrisonburg

  • Harrisonburg is a relatively affordable city, with an overall cost of living that is 15 percent below the statewide average. Health care is quite expensive here, however, averaging about 30 percent higher than health-care costs elsewhere in the state and the country. This may be a challenge for seniors who are managing a chronic condition like dementia.

  • Harrisonburg seniors pay income tax on income from retirement accounts, but up to $12,000 is tax deductible. Seniors do not pay income tax on their Social Security benefits.

  • Summers in Harrisonburg are very warm and humid, which may be a consideration for seniors who are sensitive to heat. Winters are cold, with lows in the mid-20s, and the region receives about 22 inches of snow annually.

  • Harrisonburg is a relatively safe city with low crime rates, which may provide peace of mind for families who are helping their loved ones relocate to memory care in this area. Its violent crime rate is 16.0, compared to the national average of 31.1., and the property crime rate is 34.6, compared to the U.S. average of 38.1. 

Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Harrisonburg

Harrisonburg-area memory care communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all memory care communities in Virginia are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in Virginia page for more information about these laws.
