What to Consider About Memory Care in Kaukauna
Kaukauna is situated in Wisconsin, a state where the Alzheimer's Association estimates that 110,000 people are currently living with Alzheimer's disease. This disease, which is the leading cause of dementia, is diagnosed in as many as one in 10 seniors. In Kaukauna, the senior community makes up 13 percent of the 16,000-person population.
Local families whose senior loved one has dementia have three memory care facilities to choose from in Kaukauna, and there are seven more in Appleton, Kimberly and Little Chute. In the Kaukauna region, as in all of the state, memory care facilities are generally situated within community-based residential facilities, licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
- While Kaukauna's overall cost of living is about 10 percent below the national average, healthcare costs are 10 percent higher. This could affect how much money is available in the budget for memory care in this city.
- Kaukauna is rated safer than 61 percent of U.S. cities of all population sizes and 44 percent of Wisconsin communities. When compared to other U.S. cities with similar population sizes, Kaukauna has a crime rate that is notably lower than the average. This may make memory care in this city an attractive option for families.
- The air quality in the region is moderate, with Outagamie County receiving a C for ozone pollution, a B for short-term particle pollution and a passing score for annual particle pollution from the American Lung Association. This may be a consideration for families whose senior loved one has a chronic respiratory condition like COPD.
- Wisconsin does not subject Social Security income or public pensions to state income tax, but seniors must pay taxes on income from private pensions and retirement accounts. This may impact their memory care budget.
