What to Consider About Memory Care in San Leandro

Memory care facilities comply with the California Department of Social Services’ rules for community care facilities.

To report a complaint, individuals can call the department at (844) 538-8766.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in San Leandro

  • San Leandro is a member of the AARP Age-Friendly Network, which indicates that its leaders have implemented policies that foster a welcoming environment for seniors, including those with dementia. The city’s preventable hospitalization rate comes in well below the national average, and about 7 in 10 hospital patients report high levels of satisfaction with the care they receive.
  • California residents pay relatively high state income taxes at rates of up to 12.3% on nearly all forms of retirement income, which may affect how much money some seniors can budget toward memory care in San Leandro. Fortunately, the state provides a small senior income tax exemption, and it doesn’t tax Social Security benefits.
  • Two hospitals serve San Leandro, including Kaiser Permanente San Leandro Medical Center and San Leandro Hospital. These medical facilities provide state-of-the-art primary, surgical and rehabilitative services, as well as specialties in age-related neurological conditions, such as dementia.
  • San Leandro’s Mediterranean climate brings warm summers and mild winters, with daytime temperatures ranging from 57 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels tend to run low throughout the year, even at the peak of summer, and residents can enjoy an average of 258 sunny days annually compared to the national norm of 205 days. To make the most of the city’s comfortable weather, many memory care facilities have fully enclosed courtyards and supervise outdoor activities, such as picnics and bird-watching.
  • San Leandro’s cost of living exceeds state and national norms and may be a consideration for seniors with limited financial means. On a cost-of-living index based on a national norm of 100, the city scores 195.5 compared to California’s score of 149.9. Fortunately, San Leandro sits within Alameda County, where many memory care facilities accept the state’s Assisted Living Waiver, which can help qualified individuals pay for their care.
