What to Consider About Memory Care in Rock County
Rock County is situated near the Illinois-Wisconsin border in the south-central region of Wisconsin and has a little over 162,000 residents, about 16 percent of whom are 65 and over. In this county, roughly one in 10 seniors who are Medicare beneficiaries are living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
To accommodate seniors with dementia, Rock County has six memory care facilities, including three facilities in Janesville, two in Clinton and one in Beloit. In Rock County, as in the rest of the state, memory care services are typically provided in community-based residential facilities.
- In Wisconsin, seniors do not pay state income tax on income from public pensions or Social Security, which may let those who rely on these income sources put more money toward memory care expenses in Rock County. Other types of retirement income, including withdrawals from retirement accounts and private pensions, are fully taxed.
- Rock County was given an F for ozone pollution from the American Lung Association. Breathing in this type of pollution can worsen certain respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD, which may be a consideration for some families seeking memory care for a loved one in this county.
- Rock County is a very affordable place to live, with overall living expenses and healthcare expenses both coming in well below state and national averages. Memory care may be more affordable here, which may appeal to families and seniors with restrictive memory care budgets.
- Rock County has a relatively cool climate, with year-round temperatures ranging between 12 degrees and 83 degrees, versus the national averages of 23 degrees and 86 degrees. The region receives an average of 34 inches of annual snowfall, which is several inches higher than the national average and may make seasonal travel more difficult for families visiting loved ones in local memory care.
