    What to Consider About Memory Care in Burlington

    Burlington has a population of about 8,800 residents. Despite its small size, the city's senior community makes up over 16 percent of the population, and according to the Alzheimer's Association, as many as one in 10 of these seniors may have Alzheimer's. In Skagit County, where Burlington is located, about 8 percent of Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and over have Alzheimer's or dementia.

    Local families who are seeking memory care for a loved one find three memory care facilities in the Burlington region. Two are in Burlington proper, and the other is in nearby Sedro Woolley. Memory care services are often provided within assisted living facilities that specialize in providing dementia care, though some are freestanding, as is the case with two memory care facilities in the Burlington region. 

    • The air quality in Skagit County, including in Burlington, is good. The American Lung Association gave the region As for both ozone pollution and short-term particle pollution, indicating low levels of these types of pollution. This may be beneficial for seniors with conditions like asthma or COPD.
    • Washington is one of the few states that does not have a state income tax, meaning that seniors do not pay state income tax on any type of retirement income. This may let seniors and families put more money toward memory care in Burlington. 
    • While Burlington's overall cost of living is higher than the national average, it is lower than the state average. Furthermore, healthcare in this city costs about 20 percent less than in the country as a whole. This may make Burlington a good option for families and seniors with tight budgets.
    • Burlington is rated safer than 14 percent of U.S. cities, but when the city's crime rate is compared only to similarly sized cities, it is quite a bit higher than average. Families may want to find out what safety precautions are taken by the memory care facility they choose for their loved one.
