What to Consider About Memory Care in Dodge County

Dodge County has roughly 88,000 residents and a large senior community that makes up over 17 percent of the population. According to Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services, over 2,000 people are living with dementia in Dodge County. That number is expected to reach 3,648 by the year 2040.

To create a dementia-friendly culture, Dodge County provides volunteer-led training, online and printed information and free resources to educate local businesses and organizations on the needs of those with dementia. The county is also home to three memory care facilities, including two in Beaver Dam and one in Watertown. These facilities are situated within community-based residential facilities and licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Ozone pollution levels are fairly high in Dodge County, but short-term particle pollution levels are relatively low. According to the American Lung Association, ozone pollution can worsen the symptoms of conditions like asthma and COPD, which may be a consideration for some families researching memory care here. 
  • In Dodge County, overall living expenses are about 10 percent lower than state and national averages, and healthcare expenses are slightly lower here than in the state and nation as a whole. This may make memory care in this county a good option for families and seniors with restrictive budgets. 
  • Summers in Dodge County are comfortable with July highs in the low-80s. Winters are very cold with average lows near 10 degrees, and the region gets about 37 inches of snowfall annually. As they're touring memory care facilities, families may want to inquire about what measures are taken to keep residents secure and comfortable when outside temperatures are low.
