What to Consider About Memory Care in Tempe

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Tempe

 

  • Seniors in Tempe pay state income taxes at the full rate on withdrawals from retirement accounts. However, pension income is eligible for a deduction and Social Security benefits aren’t taxed at all, which may make the city a financially viable option for retirees needing residential dementia care.
  • While Maricopa County, where Tempe is located, gets failing grades for its high ozone and 24-hour particle pollution levels, the American Lung Association gives the region a passing score for annual particle pollution. To promote residents’ safety and comfort, memory care facilities have indoor activities and amenities available year-round, and many communities have air purification systems.
  • Tempe is rated on the AARP Age-Friendly Network for the efforts its officials have made toward creating a safe, welcoming environment for seniors. The city has a livability score of 49 for factors such as high access to health care amenities, mixed-use neighborhoods and access to public transportation. These factors can benefit those with dementia as well as families visiting loved ones in local long-term care facilities.
  • Tempe is listed on the Dementia Friendly America Network, a distinction given to communities that have made efforts to put resources and support services in place for seniors and families affected by dementia. Residents can contact the project coordinator for assistance with accessing early-stage engagement activities, support groups, screening services and care consultations.
  • Tempe has warm, dry weather throughout the year with daytime average highs ranging from 68-104 degrees. Measurable snowfall is highly unusual and the city gets only 9 inches of rain. Memory care facilities have security measures in place to prevent wandering, particularly in unsafe weather conditions, and many have individual climate control in residents’ units.
