Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in West Hartford

  • Overall, living costs in West Hartford are higher than state and nationwide averages, which may be a consideration for families who are relocating their loved one to memory care in north-central Connecticut. Health care costs are about 6 percent higher than they are in the nation as a whole.
  • West Hartford is a relatively safe place to live, with property crime and violent crime rates that are lower than the national averages. This may provide peace of mind for families whose loved one resides in memory care in this city. 
  • Summers in West Hartford are warm and rainy with highs around 84 degrees. Winters are cold and snowy, with lows around 18 degrees and an average annual snowfall of 37 inches, versus the U.S. average of 26 inches of snowfall. This may make it difficult for families to visit their loved ones in memory care in West Hartford during the winter months.
  • In Connecticut, all types of retirement income are subject to state income tax, though Social Security is exempt for seniors whose adjusted gross income is below a certain level. This may impact how much money can be put towards memory care in West Hartford.
