What to Consider About Memory Care in Madera

In Madera, as well as in the rest of California, memory care facilities are officially licensed through the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division as assisted living facilities. While they’re subject to the same minimum standards as all residential care facilities, they must also meet additional requirements related to staff training, security and care planning.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Madera

  • While state income taxes are high in California compared to the rest of the nation, seniors can claim a senior income tax exemption that doubles the personal exemption, reducing what they owe. Social Security benefits are tax-exempt, which may help some seniors afford memory care expenses in Madera.
  • The air quality in Madera is very poor, with the American Lung Association giving the region failing grades across all categories including ozone, 24-hour particle and annual particle pollution. Fortunately, many memory care facilities are equipped with air purification systems, keeping residents comfortable and safe despite outside conditions.
  • Several hospitals are located near Madera, including Saint Agnes Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente Fresno Medical Center, both of which are in Fresno about 20 miles outside of Madera’s center. Health care costs in this city come in about 17% lower than the national norm, and although there are only 97 doctors per capita compared to 210 nationally, many memory care facilities have on-call physicians.
  • Madera features a warm Mediterranean climate with minimal humidity, mild winters and little rainfall. Over the course of the year, temperatures in this city range from winter lows of 37 degrees Fahrenheit to summer highs of 97 degrees Fahrenheit. The city gets virtually no snow and just 13 inches of rain spread out over an average of 48 days. To promote comfort year-round, many memory care facilities have individually controlled thermostats in residents’ rooms.
  • Madera is among the most budget-friendly places to live in California, which may appeal to those seeking memory care services on a budget. On a 100-point index based on national living costs, the city scores 101, notably lower than the state score of 149.9.
  • Crime is a little more prevalent in Madera than in a typical U.S. city, which may make residential dementia care a preferred alternative to living alone. On a 100-point index, the city scores 37.6 for violent crime and 41.2 for property-related offenses, compared to respective national scores of 22.7 and 35.4. Fortunately, both types of crime have been declining for the past two decades.
