What to Consider About Memory Care in San Bernardino

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in San Bernardino

  • San Bernardino is an affordable option for seniors and families seeking memory care services in Southern California. On a cost of living index based on a national norm of 100, the city rates 109.5. While this indicates that living costs are about 10% higher here than in a typical U.S. city, this score is low compared to the state rating of 149.9. This may result in competitive memory care rates.
  • Social Security benefits are exempt from taxation in California, which may be beneficial for seniors who rely primarily on this form of retirement income. However, all other types of retirement income are fully taxed at some of the highest rates in the nation. Organizations such as the Area Agency on Aging provide annual tax filing assistance to help seniors apply for exemptions and deductions.
  • The air quality in San Bernardino is poor and may pose a hazard to those with heart or breathing conditions. The American Lung Association gives the community the lowest marks possible across its three metrics, including ozone pollution, 24-hour particle pollution and annual particle pollution. Participating in indoor activities may help seniors sensitive to pollution stay safe and comfortable throughout the year.
  • Property and violent crime rates are high in San Bernardino, which may be a consideration for those considering this city for retirement. On a 100-point crime index, the city scores 56.9 for violent crime and 60.5 for property crime. This is higher than the national respective scores of 22.7 and 35.4, which may make residential memory care a preferred option for seniors with dementia.
  • Health care costs in San Bernardino are about 17% below national norms, which may be beneficial for those managing chronic conditions, such as dementia. While there are only 135 doctors per capita, 35% below the national norm, there are two hospitals serving the city, including St. Bernardine Medical Center and Community Hospital of San Bernardino.
  • San Bernardino has warm weather throughout the year, with daytime temperatures ranging from 67 to 96 degrees. Residents in memory care facilities typically have thermostats in their rooms, helping them stay comfortable year-round.
