What to Consider About Memory Care in Peoria

In Peoria, memory care communities are officially licensed as assisted living facilities. The Arizona Department of Health Services licenses memory care facilities in the city and enforces standards for the scope of services facilities must provide, as well as staffing, care planning and building security. The department also has an online complaint form and publishes information related to residents’ rights.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Peoria

  • Arizona doesn’t tax Social Security benefits, providing significant savings for seniors who rely primarily on this form of income. Although other types of retirement income are taxable, rates are low at 2.50% to 2.98%, and the state provides a small deduction on some pensions. This may help some seniors and families pay for memory care expenses in Peoria.
  • Peoria experiences long, hot summers and short, comfortable winters, making it a favorable retirement destination for seniors sensitive to cold temperatures. Daytime temperatures in the summer reach an average of 106 degrees Fahrenheit, although some days may see temperatures as high as 112 degrees Fahrenheit, and conditions may occasionally be muggy. Winters are mild, with average daytime temperatures ranging from 65 to 73 degrees Fahrenheit. To prevent unsafe wandering in hot weather, memory care facilities have secured indoor and outdoor recreational areas.
  • Seniors in Peoria may obtain transportation services through the city’s Transit Division. This agency provides fixed bus routes, a free local bus service that goes to popular points of destination and a Dial-A-Ride service. This can help family members plan regular visits to loved ones living in local memory care facilities.  
  • Maricopa County, where Peoria is located, has very poor air quality that may impact the health and comfort of seniors with certain chronic health conditions. The American Lung Association gives the county a passing grade for annual particle pollution levels but the lowest grades possible for short-term particle and ozone pollution levels. Annually, the region experiences 133 days when pollution levels are dangerous for vulnerable individuals and 18 days in which levels are dangerous for everyone. Fortunately, many memory care facilities support residents’ comfort through air purification systems.
  • Peoria doesn’t have a local hospital, but Banner Boswell Medical Center is located about 3 miles away in Sun City and St. Joseph’s Westgate Medical Center is 4 miles away in Glendale. In addition to this, many local memory care facilities have on-call physicians who provide care with minimal disruption to residents' routines.
