Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Lynchburg

  • Virginia doesn’t impose income taxes on Social Security income for any taxpayers, regardless of their total annual income. It has a deduction of up to $12,000 to cut down on what seniors owe to the state on other forms of retirement income. This promotes seniors’ financial stability and helps many afford memory care expenses.
  • Lynchburg General Hospital, part of Centra Health, sits in the city proper and provides primary, specialty and emergency care. It houses the region’s PACE program, which delivers medical and social services to qualified seniors, and offers a walk-in clinic where patients can access urgent care services. The hospital also provides recommendations and referrals for dementia screenings and services.
  •  Out of 133 ranked communities in Virginia, Lynchburg ranks 74th for health. The city reports a preventable hospitalization rate of 3,179 per 100,000 Medicare patients, which is higher than the state norm of 2,902 and may indicate limited access to outpatient care. However, the local air quality is better than state and national norms, promoting seniors’ health.
  • Overall, the cost of living in Lynchburg is about 5.9% lower than the national norm, promoting competitive memory care rates and making it a budget-friendly option for retirees with budgetary constraints. Food costs come in 28.8% below the national norm and utility expenses are 18.2% less, and seniors spend about 10.6% less on health care here than in a typical U.S. city.
  • Lynchburg reports about 28 incidents of crime per 1,000 residents, with property-related offenses accounting for about 87% of incidents. Altogether, residents have a one in 35 chance of becoming victims of any type of crime, which is higher than 89% of cities in Virginia and 88% of communities across the United States. Fortunately, memory care communities have features, such as professionally monitored surveillance cameras and fully enclosed courtyards, to promote residents' safety.
  • The AARP Livability Index gives Lynchburg a score of 52 compared to the national average of 48. This score reflects the city’s air and water quality, reliable public transportation and access to grocery stores and parks, creating an enriching environment for those with dementia.
