Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Spokane Valley

 

  • As a suburb of Spokane, Spokane Valley is among Dementia Friendly America’s network of communities, meaning the city is actively engaged in becoming more accessible and supportive for people with memory loss conditions. Community members also aim to raise public awareness and educate impacted families about dementia-related matters.
  • Property crimes are more prevalent in Spokane Valley than in many other parts of the country, with the city scoring 74 compared to the U.S. average of 35.4. However, memory care communities offer security measures and 24/7 on-site staff, greatly increasing residents’ safety. Seniors and their loved ones may feel further reassured by the low violent crime rate of 15.2, which is 7.5 points less than the national average.
  • While Spokane Valley’s overall cost of living is about 3.1% higher than the U.S. average, locals pay significantly less than those in many other parts of the state. Additionally, transportation and health care costs are substantially lower than national and state norms. Low-income seniors may qualify for financial support through various Aging and Long-Term Support Administration programs, including the Specialized Dementia Care Program.
  • Spokane Valley seniors may be able to stretch their retirement funds further thanks to the state’s lack of income tax. Indeed, Washington is considered tax-friendly toward older adults.
  • With 241 doctors per 100,000 people, more than the U.S. average of 210, and lower-than-average medical costs, Spokane Valley offers easy access to affordable health care. Within city limits, MultiCare Valley Hospital provides comprehensive care across many medical specialties, and 12 miles away, Providence Holy Family Hospital ranks highly for geriatrics.
