What to Consider About Memory Care in Vancouver
Vancouver, Washington is a relaxed city located in the southwest corner of the state, housing a total population of 172,860, with 13.3 percent of that total represented by seniors. It is estimated that 106,644 Washington residents have dementia, Alzheimer's disease and similar conditions, making the city's 10 local and 17 nearby memory care facilities essential in supporting Vancouver's segment of the population.
Memory care facilities in Vancouver, as well as in all of Washington, provide services to meet the specific needs of seniors with dementia and help them engage in activities they enjoy. They are also required to coordinate care choices with the client's family. Additionally, staff and administrators are required to have specialized training to serve the needs of clients with dementia or memory care conditions.
- The cost of living in Vancouver is three percent higher than the national average, with health care representing the greatest expense at nine percent higher than the average, while housing and groceries score four and five percent below the national average. These figures make Vancouver a decent place to settle down for seniors at a near-average cost of living.
- When it comes to crime, Vancouver is safer than only 13 percent of U.S. cities, with crime rates that are significantly higher than the national average. Motor vehicle theft is one of the most notable figures, coming in at over twice the national rate. A bit of good news is that Vancouver's violent crime levels are lower than the national average. The less crime-ridden neighborhoods are in the northern and eastern parts of the city, while the southwestern neighborhoods suffer from higher crime rates.
- The city of Vancouver has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital specializing in brain health and dementia care located in Portland, Oregon at the Providence Portland Brain and Spine Institute.

Taxes in Vancouver are agreeable in that there is no state income tax, including on Social Security income, but the state also has a high sales tax. The overall tax situation comes out positive for seniors who receive social security benefits while living in the state.
- The weather in the area tends to be rainy, getting approximately 45 inches of rain per year. Summers are pleasant, with average temperatures 79 degrees, so seniors living in memory care facilities can enjoy time outdoors during the summer months.
