What to Consider About Memory Care in West Bend

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in West Bend

 

  • West Bend's cost of living is slightly lower than the national average, measuring 93.3 on a 100-point index, with the U.S. average at 100. While most expenses are reasonably low within the city, groceries and transportation are especially affordable, which may allow seniors with early-stage Alzheimer's to continue cooking and visiting local shops and restaurants accompanied by family members.
  • Violent crime rates are exceptionally low in West Bend. On a 100-point scale, where the national average measures 22.7, West Bend's violent crime rate is 8.7. Property crime rates are slightly higher than the U.S. average at 38.2 vs. 35.4. However, break-ins and vandalism are unlikely to occur in memory care facilities, given the security measures they employ.
  • Health care is 7.8% more expensive in West Bend than the national average, and the city has 95 fewer physicians per 100,000 people. However, the presence of excellent local medical facilities, such as the Froedtert West Bend Hospital and West Bend Health Center, can still ensure seniors have access to quality treatment when needed.
  • West Bend is located just a short drive from Milwaukee, which can allow access to a greater variety of health care services, such as specialized surgeries, heart disease treatment and rehabilitation. The proximity to Milwaukee may also make it easier for relatives living there to make day trips and visit more frequently.
  • The continental climate of West Bend produces cold winters with 15 more inches of snow per year than the U.S. average and typical low temperatures through January of 10 degrees, much colder than the national average of 21.7 degrees. However, summers are very comfortable in West Bend, with temperatures 4.9‬ degrees below the U.S. average, and memory care facilities generally have active heating and cooling to improve comfort further.
  • West Bend is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities. This shows a commitment from city planners to improve infrastructure and livability for seniors by formulating an action plan based on the eight Domains of Livability.
