What to Consider About Memory Care in Edmonds
Edmonds has more than 42,000 residents, about one in five of whom are over the age of 65. The city is located in the state of Washington, where the Department of Social and Health Services reports that more than 100,000 people have dementia.
To meet the needs of local seniors with dementia, the Edmonds area has nearly two dozen memory care facilities. These facilities are located in separate wings of assisted living facilities that specialize in dementia care. They are licensed and monitored by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, Aging and Long-Term Support Administration.
- Edmonds' air quality is poor, which could worsen symptoms in seniors who have respiratory illnesses or cardiovascular disease. According to the American Lung Association, the county rates an F, which is the poorest grade possible, for short-term particle pollution, and the region ranks 72 out of 227 metropolitan areas for high ozone days.
- While the overall cost of living in Edmonds is about 40 percent higher than the state average and 70 percent higher than the national average, health-care expenses are about 20 percent less here than elsewhere in the country. This may appeal to seniors who have a tight budget.
- Washington does not impose a state income tax, meaning that seniors do not pay taxes on Social Security earnings, disbursements from public or private pensions or any other type of retirement income.
- Edmonds' crime rate is higher than 67 percent of Washington cities, as well as the majority of other similarly sized communities across the country. For every 1,000 residents, there are two annual incidents of violent crime and 28 incidents of property crime. Memory care facilities protect their residents by utilizing security technology and maintaining secured entrances.
