What to Consider About Memory Care in Union City

The California Department of Social Services licenses all memory care communities in Union City and the rest of the state through its Community Care Licensing Division.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Union City

  • California imposes some of the highest income taxes in the nation, with rates ranging from 1 to 13.3%. Fortunately, older adults qualify for the senior income tax exemption, along with the personal exemption, which cuts down on what they owe to the state on pension income and withdrawals from retirement accounts. Additionally, the state doesn’t tax Social Security benefits, helping many seniors pay for memory care in Union City. 
  • Union City has a total crime index of 7 due to its crime rate of 36.23 incidents per 1,000 people. This is higher than 93% of U.S. communities and 91% of California communities, as well as communities with similar population sizes. To promote residents’ safety, many memory care facilities have features such as security gates and alarm systems.
  • Union City doesn’t have a hospital, but Washington Hospital sits just 4 miles away in Fremont. This 415-bed facility has a multi-specialty team of health care providers who address seniors’ complex care needs. It also houses the Taylor McAdam Bill Neuroscience Institute, which has board-certified neurologists who diagnose and treat dementia.
  • Alameda County, where Union City is located, ranks 13th in the state for overall health and in the top percentile for health outcomes and factors. Annually, about 4,700 years of life are lost to deaths in those under age 75 compared to 5,700 statewide and 7,300 nationally, and the local life expectancy is about 4 years beyond the national average at 82.8.
  • The AARP Livability Index assigns Union City a score of 58, putting it in the top half of U.S. communities for favorability for seniors. The city has an especially strong score of 80 in the index’s Health metric for factors such as its high percentage of satisfied hospital patients and its low rate of preventable hospitalizations.
  • Union City’s cost of living runs 72.1% higher than the national average, impacting prospective memory care residents with limited access to financial resources. Housing and utilities are particularly expensive in this city, driving up the cost of long-term care, but many memory care communities promote affordability by accepting the state’s Assisted Living Waiver.
