This department enforces rigorous standards related to staff training, care planning and security features and protocols to promote residents’ security and quality of life.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Orange

 

  • State income taxes are relatively high in California, and Orange seniors pay the full tax rate on almost all forms of retirement income. However, Social Security benefits are excluded from taxation, which may provide financial benefits for those who rely primarily on this form of income.
  • The American Lung Association records an above-average number of high-ozone and high-particle days in the Orange region, earning the community failing scores in these air quality metrics. However, the organization assigns the region a passing score for annual particle pollution levels. To further support seniors’ health and comfort, many memory care communities are equipped with air purification systems.
  • Two hospitals are in Orange proper and serve local seniors, promoting access to primary care and specialized services. These include Providence St. Joseph Hospital Orange and UCI Medical Center, which is home to the UCI Health Memory Disorders Program. Through this program, seniors and families can connect with clinicians and may participate in research opportunities.
  • The cost of living in Orange is high, even by California’s standards. On a 100-point cost of living index based on national norms, the city rates 164. By comparison, the rating for the state is 149.9, indicating that living costs are considerably higher in Orange than in the typical California city. Housing is particularly expensive, making memory care an attractive alternative to living in a private residence.
  • Orange has a Mediterranean climate that gives it mild winters with lows averaging 46 degrees and warm, dry summers with highs in the mid-80s. The city gets about 14 inches of annual rainfall, with just 35 days per year receiving measurable precipitation, and there are 277 days of sunshine versus 205 nationally. This may provide a therapeutic environment for prospective memory care residents who enjoy relaxing outdoors.
