Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Redwood City

 

  • Mirroring much of California, Redwood City boasts a Mediterranean climate that seniors may find very comfortable, as it offers little to no snowfall and 50 more sunny days than the U.S. average. Additionally, winter temperatures generally sit around 39.6 degrees Fahrenheit, much warmer than the national average of 21.7 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Redwood City has an incredibly high cost of living, which, when ranked on a 100-point index, scores 250, compared to a nationwide average of 100. However, much of this high overall cost is attributed to housing, with grocery prices only ranking at 117.8 and transportation at 138.9, so the city may still be relatively affordable for seniors moving into long-term care residences.
  • Compared to overall expenses, health care costs are quite inexpensive in Redwood City. Average costs are 3% lower than the national norm, and the city also has a nearly 44% higher physician density, making it easier for seniors to access the medical care they need.
  • Redwood City has a sales tax rate of 8.8% and an income tax rate of 9.3%, both higher than the respective national averages of 7.3% and 4.6%. While California taxes most forms of retirement income, Social Security benefits are exempt, so this may provide some relief from Redwood City's taxes.
  • Redwood City can be a very safe home for seniors with Alzheimer's due to its low crime rates. Ranked on a 100-point scale, the incidence of violent crime is only 13.7 in the city vs. 22.7 nationwide. Property crime rates are also slightly lower than average at 30.7, compared to 35.4 across the country.
  • Many hospitals are located within driving distance of Redwood City, with several just a few miles away, ensuring seniors have access to prompt emergency care. Stanford Hospital, situated less than 5 miles away, is an award-winning medical provider considered to be in the nation's top 1% of hospitals.
