What to Consider About Memory Care in Riverside
Memory care facilities in Riverside follow regulations set by the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division. This agency conducts background checks on prospective and current employees and regular inspections to ensure facilities provide clean, safe environments for residents. Â
Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Riverside
Â
- Riverside is listed on the Dementia Friendly America Network and the AARP Age-Friendly Network, indicating that its officials have taken measures to make the city a safe, comfortable place for older adults, including those with dementia. Â
- While Riverside’s overall cost of living is high compared to the typical U.S. city, it’s affordable compared to California as a whole and may make the city a financially viable option for those with restrictive budgets. Housing costs are affordable relative to the rest of the state, but in all other metrics, the city rates are more expensive. Seniors may be able to avoid expenses such as transportation and utilities by moving to a residential care facility.
- The crime rate in Riverside is a little higher than in the nation as a whole, which may make memory care a safe alternative to living alone. On a 100-point index, the city’s violent crime rate is 28.7 and the property crime rate is 46.7 compared to the national scores of 22.7 and 35.4. However, crime frequency is trending downward, which may provide peace of mind to families.Â
- Averaging just 11 inches of rain, no snow and five months of comfortable daily temperatures each year, Riverside’s pleasant weather is among its top benefits. August is the hottest month with highs in the mid-90s, and there are a few days when humidity levels are uncomfortable. Memory care facilities help residents stay comfortable during the warmest months by providing indoor activities and individual climate controls in residents’ rooms.
- On average, health care expenses are about 15% cheaper in Riverside than in the United States as a whole, which may benefit those managing chronic conditions. Residents have access to top-ranking hospitals such as Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage and Loma Linda University Medical Hospital in Loma Linda. Â
- California seniors pay state income taxes on all types of retirement income except for Social Security benefits, which may impact how much they can put toward memory care expenses. The Riverside area has several agencies that help older adults apply for public benefits that may help cover care costs.Â
