What to Consider About Memory Care in Walworth County

Walworth County has a little over 100,000 residents, and the county's senior community makes up over 17 percent of the total population. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services projects that a little less than 9 percent of seniors who receive Medicare benefits have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia.

The county's Aging and Disability Resource Center provides an array of informational resources and supports for those with dementia, as well as their caregivers. In addition to this, the Walworth County region has five memory care facilities. In most cases, memory care services in this area are provided in community-based residential facilities.

This may be a concern for some families researching local memory care options.

This may make the county an appealing option for those with tight memory care budgets.

On a 100-point scale on which a higher score indicates more crime, the county's violent crime rate is 39.3, compared to the national average of 31.1.
