What to Consider About Memory Care in Selma

According to the Alzheimer's Association, 92,000 seniors in Alabama have Alzheimer's, a disease which is most commonly diagnosed in seniors. In the city of Selma, over 16 percent of the 18,000-person population is aged 65 and over. The area is served by the Alzheimer's Association Alabama Chapter, which advocates for those with Alzheimer's and dementia and provides support and informational resources.

Selma has one memory care facility. Like many memory care facilities in Alabama, it is located within a specialty care assisted living facility. All assisted living facilities that offer memory care are licensed by the Department of Public Health and separately certified by the Board of Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Selma

  • The Selma area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Vaughan Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness. 
  • In Alabama, a senior's memory care budget may depend on the type of retirement income they receive. Selma seniors do not pay state income tax on pension income or Social Security benefits, but withdrawals from retirement accounts are fully taxable. 
  • Selma's crime rate is very high, with the city being rated as safer than just 1 percent of U.S. cities. While violent crime rates are notably higher than average, property-related crime is especially prevalent in Selma, and residents have a 1 in 14 chance of being the victim of any type of crime. Families who are considering memory care in Selma may want to talk to facility administrators to determine how memory care residents and their belongings are kept safe.
  • Overall living expenses in Selma are about 25 percent below the national average, which may drive down the cost of memory care in this city. Health care expenses are a little higher than average, however, which may be a concern for seniors and families with tight budgets.

Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Selma

Selma-area memory care communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all memory care communities in Alabama are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in Alabama page for more information about these laws.
