Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in South San Francisco

 

  • South San Francisco is part of the AARP Age-Friendly Network, meaning that it has policies that promote a favorable environment for residents, including seniors. The city earns its high livability rating of 59 through high access to amenities such as parks and grocery stores, ADA-accessible public transportation and exercise opportunities. Additionally, the preventable hospital rate is less than half the norm at 17.5 incidents per 100,000 patients, meaning many conditions are successfully treated through outpatient care.

 

  • San Mateo’s air quality is moderate, with the American Lung Association giving the region a C for ozone pollution and a failing grade for 24-hour particle pollution levels. The organization reports 3 days annually in which ozone pollution levels may aggravate certain health conditions, as well as an average of 9 high-particle days. Fortunately, many memory care communities in the South San Francisco region help residents stay active with therapeutic indoor activities when outdoor conditions are unsafe.

 

  • South San Francisco Medical Center, which sits in the city proper, is part of the Kaiser Permanente hospital system and has 367 doctors across various specialties. The hospital has a neurology department with board-certified neurologists who diagnose and treat memory disorders. The department also has a series of online videos that cover topics such as recognizing memory problems, issues related to memory loss and what to expect from a clinical memory evaluation.

 

  • South San Francisco is among the most expensive places to live in the nation, with an overall cost of living that’s 86.5% beyond the nationwide average. Housing costs are especially high here, with residents paying 80.5% more to buy or rent homes. Seniors also spend 14.4% more on health care, 20.4% more on transportation and 44.6% more on utilities. Fortunately, the California Assisted Living Waiver covers services in many local memory care communities. 

 

  • Seniors in South San Francisco pay high state income taxes at rates of up to 13.3%. Fortunately, the state provides a senior income tax exemption, along with the standard personal exemption, and it fully exempts Social Security benefits from taxation for all seniors, regardless of annual income.
