What to Consider About Memory Care in Ventura County

More than 800,000 people live in Ventura County, including 15 percent who are age 65 and older. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimates that one in 10 of the county's seniors in this age group has Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia. For affected seniors and their families who are looking for memory care, there are 16 memory care facilities available in Ventura County. Licensed by the state as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs), they provide seniors with personal care services in a safe, secure environment.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

 

  • The weather in Ventura County tends to be dry and sunny. In a typical year, the county receives only 17 inches of rain, compared to the U.S. average of 39 inches. Even seniors who rarely venture outside of their memory care facilities may appreciate the plentiful sunshine streaming in through their windows. On average, there are a total of 273 sunshiny days in Ventura County each year.
  • Living in Ventura County, where expenses are typically 71 percent higher than the national average, may leave seniors with dementia and their families with fewer funds available for memory care.  
  • When it comes to air quality, Ventura County has room for improvement. The county has acceptable levels of particle pollution but potentially hazardous levels of ozone. Seniors, who are at a higher risk for health problems caused by pollution than the general population, may be safer staying inside their memory care facilities on days when the air quality is poor.
  • Taxes in Ventura County and throughout the Golden State tend to be higher relative to the rest of the country, which may put a financial strain on families who are budgeting for memory care. Ventura County's sales tax rate is .25 percent, which is in addition to California's 6 percent state sales tax and local city taxes. In the income tax realm, California seniors' Social Security benefits are tax-free, but all other retirement income is taxable.
