What to Consider About Memory Care in Citrus Heights
California is home to nearly 40 million people, 15 percent of whom are over the age of 65, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The state capitol, Sacramento, is surrounded by smaller cities like Citrus Heights, which has many memory care facilities to house some of the state's 650,000 Alzheimer's and dementia patients.Â
Memory care providers in California are sometimes called residential care facilities for the elderly (RCFEs) by the state Department of Health and Human Services, which regulates and oversees the 51 memory care facilities in Citrus Heights. These facilities are often located in proximity to, or on the grounds of, associated assisted living communities, where many of the patients used to live, and where many of their friends still reside.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Citrus Heights
- Citrus Heights gets weather that is similar to nearby Sacramento, but with a generally lower allergen count because it is farther from both nearby rivers. Daily highs in summer run to 91 degrees Fahrenheit, which can be an issue for some seniors on the hottest 10 or 15 days in July. Winter lows average 54 degrees in December, which is mild enough for afternoons outdoors in a sweater.
- The cost of living in Citrus Heights is around 12 percent higher, on average, than is typical across the nation. Much of this is in housing, which does not usually affect seniors in memory care facilities. Other costs are lower, such as health care, which is just three percent higher than the national average rate, while utility costs are actually 11 percent lower than the national average.
- Crime rates in Citrus Heights are almost exactly in line with California's average, though certain categories are slightly lower than the state numbers. The chance of being the victim of a violent crime in Citrus Heights, for instance, is one in 220, while California's statewide average is one in 225. Property crime rates are higher, by close to 30 percent, which can be problematic for families concerned about theft and vandalism.
- The Citrus Heights area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Mercy San Juan and Mercy Folsom, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
