What to Consider About Memory Care in Middleton
Middleton has nearly 20,000 residents and a senior community that makes up about 15 percent of the population. In this city, it's estimated that one in eight seniors are living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. In response, many local businesses have provided dementia-friendly training for their employees and incorporated environmental changes to aid customers with dementia, earning the city the distinction of being the first community in the county to become dementia-friendly.
Middleton has five memory care facilities, and there are eight more in nearby communities. These facilities are generally located within community-based residential facilities and are licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
- In Wisconsin, Social Security and public pension income are not taxed at the state level, but all other types of retirement income are fully taxable. This may affect how much seniors and families have to put toward memory care expenses in Middleton.
- Middleton's overall cost of living is about 25 percent higher than the state and national medians, though health care expenses are about 5 percent lower than the national average and 10 percent below the state average. Lower medical bills may allow for more money in the memory care budget.
- Middleton is rated safer than 46 percent of U.S. cities of all sizes and is notably safer than most similarly sized American cities. While the property crime rate is on par with the national average, the rate of violent crimes is significantly lower. This may provide peace of mind for families with loved ones in memory care in Middleton.
- Middleton's climate is rated 41 out of 100 on Sperling's Comfort Index, compared to the overall national score of 54. The rating is due to the area's relatively high levels of humidity during the summer months and its chilly year-round climate. The region gets 41 inches of annual snowfall, which may be a concern for families who travel locally to visit loved ones in memory care.
