What to Consider About Memory Care in Mechanicsville

In Mechanicsville, memory care facilities are officially recognized as assisted living facilities, and they comply with minimum standards set by the Virginia Department of Social Services.

It also maintains a list of all licensed residential care facilities in the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Mechanicsville

 

  • Seniors may claim a deduction of up to $12,000 to reduce what they owe for state income taxes on pension income and withdrawals from retirement savings accounts. Additionally, Virginia doesn’t impose income taxes on Social Security benefits. This may make it easier for seniors and families to pay for residential dementia services in Mechanicsville. 
  • The American Lung Association gives Hanover County, which is home to Mechanicsville, an A for ozone pollution. This grade indicates very low levels of smog, which may benefit seniors managing certain health and respiratory conditions.
  • On a cost of living index calibrated to a national score of 100, Mechanicsville scores 101.7. This is a little lower than the state score of 104.2, suggesting that living costs trend a little lower here than in Virginia as a whole. This may help seniors with fixed incomes maintain a comfortable standard of living.
  • According to a 100-point crime index, crime is a little less prevalent in Mechanicsville than in the typical U.S. city. The city rates 34.2 for property crime compared to a national rating of 35.4. Similarly, violent crime is relatively uncommon, earning the city a rating of 16.1 versus 22.7 nationally. This may make the city a good option for vulnerable seniors.
  • Mechanicsville’s weather is very warm compared to Virginia as a whole, with daytime temperatures ranging from an average of about 50 degrees in the winter to 90 degrees in the summer. The city gets about 12 inches of annual snowfall and 44 inches of rain, and summers tend to be humid. To help residents stay cool and comfortable, memory care facilities host indoor activities year-round, and many facilities have individual climate control in residents’ rooms.
