Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Indio

  • Indio has a relatively mild and comfortable climate. Seniors may appreciate the lack of snow and rain and the average low temperature of 41.1 degrees through January — 19.4 degrees above the national average. The region experiences 65 more sunny days than is typical across the United States.
  • The cost of living is high in Indio at 110.6 on a 100-point index. However, much of this overall cost is related to housing, which may not affect residents in aged care facilities. Health care is quite affordable at a rating of 87.3, which may help reduce expenses for seniors needing medical attention or surgeries.
  • The John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital is located in Indio, allowing seniors to access medical treatments and emergency care without excessive travel. The region has 99 physicians per 100,000 residents, which is lower than the national average of 210, but seniors may be able to take advantage of telehealth services from nearby Riverside and Los Angeles.
  • Property crime rates in Indio are comparable to the national average, rating at just 3.3 points above the entire country’s 35.4 rating on a 100-point scale. Violent crimes are ranked 35.3, compared to the U.S. average of 22.7, making these incidences more common. However, the security features of memory care facilities should ensure seniors remain safe.
  • Indio is close to Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport and Palm Springs International Airport. It’s also just inland from major cities such as Riverside, Los Angeles and San Diego, providing a quieter atmosphere away from these busy areas while still allowing families to make day trips and visit often.
  • Public transport is available through the SunLine Transit Agency. While seniors with late-stage dementia typically can’t travel, individuals with milder symptoms may appreciate the door-to-door SunDial Paratransit Service, which caters to people with cognitive or physical disabilities.
