What to Consider About Memory Care in West Hills

West Hills is a residential neighborhood located in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, where more than 10 percent of the city's 4 million residents are age 65 or older. An estimated 147,000 seniors throughout Los Angeles County have been diagnosed with a dementia-related disorder such as Huntington's disease or Alzheimer's disease.

The West Hills area is home to four memory care facilities that provide residential care to seniors with dementia. There are an additional 20 facilities in nearby areas such as North Ridge, Simi Valley and Calabasas. These facilities are officially known as residential care facilities, and they may also provide basic assisted living service to seniors as both levels of care are subject to similar regulations.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in West Hills

  • Although West Hills is one of the safer neighborhoods in Los Angeles, it's important to consider the city's violent crime rate. A total of 7.7 violent crimes per 1,000 residents occur each year in Los Angeles, while only 4.49 violent crimes per 1,000 residents occur in the average California city. When touring memory care facilities, potential clients should inquire about security measures for residents. 
  • According to the American Lung Association, the air quality in Los Angeles County is the worst in the country. High levels of particle and ozone pollution may negatively affect the health of seniors, especially those with respiratory illnesses or cardiovascular disease.
  • The West Hills area is home to world-class medical facilities including those that specialize in brain health and dementia care, such as West Hills Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • California has some of the highest income tax rates in the United States, and all retirement income, including savings accounts and pensions, is fully taxed at the state level. Families who have limited disposable income may find that these taxes cut into their budget for memory care too much.

Memory Care Laws and Regulations in West Hills

West Hills-area memory care communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all memory care communities in California are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in California page for more information about these laws.
