What to Consider About Memory Care in Altoona

Altoona, which has about 7,700 people and a senior population of about 16 percent, is situated in dementia-friendly Eau Claire County. The county is home to the Eau Claire County Dementia Coalition, which is made up of more than 30 providers, caregivers and people living with dementia. The dementia coalition serves as an advocate for those with dementia and provides resources, support and education.

It's estimated that 110,000 people in Wisconsin are currently living with Alzheimer's disease. To meet the needs of those with Alzheimer's and dementia, memory care is available. While some memory care facilities operate independently, many share campuses with community-based residential facilities that are licensed to provide specialized services for residents with dementia. Altoona is home to two memory care facilities, and there are nearly a dozen more nearby.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Altoona

  • The air quality in Eau Claire County is exceptional, receiving an A for both ozone pollution and short-term particle pollution from the American Lung Association. This may make Altoona an appealing option for seniors with respiratory illnesses.
  • In Wisconsin, income received from Social Security and public pensions is not taxed at the state level, but all other types of retirement income are subject to state income tax. This may affect how much money can be put into memory care in Altoona.
  • The overall cost of living in Altoona is about 7 percent below the U.S. median, but healthcare costs in this city are about 3 percent over the state average and 8 percent over the national average. This may be a consideration for those with restrictive memory care budgets.
  • Altoona is a safe place to live with property crime and violent crime rates that are well below the national average, which may appeal to families researching memory care facilities in Eau Claire County.
