What to Consider About Memory Care in Downey
Downey, a city of a little more than 110,000 residents, is located in Los Angeles County, California. Throughout the county, nearly 150,000 seniors have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, Huntington's Disease and other dementia disorders, and that number is expected to rise.
Seniors with dementia in Downey and surrounding areas can access full-time residential care in one of seven memory care facilities in Downey and other nearby cities, such as Whittier, La Palma and Buena Park. The California Department of Social Services is responsible for regulating these facilities, which are officially known as Residential Care Facilities (RCFs) throughout the state. It's not unusual for RCFs in California to offer both assisted living services and memory care, as the provisions for both levels of care are nearly the same.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Downey
- The cost of living in Downey is more than 70 percent above the national average; however, the cost of healthcare in the city is 15 percent less than the average U.S. city. Although the cost of room and board in memory care facilities may be affected by the high cost of living, families of seniors who require frequent medical care may find the cost of living quite reasonable.
- Air quality in Los Angeles County is the worst in the U.S. according to the American Lung Association. With high levels of ozone pollution and environmental pollutants, the air quality may pose a serious risk to seniors, particularly those with a respiratory illness.
- The Downey area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those that specialize in brain health and dementia care such as Rancho Los Amigos/USC California Alzheimer's Disease Center and PIH Health, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Property crime rates in Downey are slightly above the state average. There are 28.67 property crimes per 1,000 residents each year in the city. By comparison, the average city in California has only 24.87 property crimes per 1,000 residents each year. When touring memory care facilities in the area, it's a good idea to ensure that the facility has taken measures to protect residents from crimes such as theft and burglary.
Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Downey
Downey-area memory care communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all memory care communities in California are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in California page for more information about these laws.
