What to Consider About Memory Care in Douglas

The county seat of Coffee County, Georgia, is Douglas, a small town with a population of 11,430 residents, 1,670 of whom are aged 65 or older, the age in which people might develop Alzheimer's disease or another type of cognitive impairment.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Douglas

  • Georgia is among the friendliest states when it comes to tax laws for people aged 65 and older. Social Security payments, pension funds and some property are exempt from taxation, as is the first $65,000 seniors in that age group earn after retiring. A low sales tax can help stretch dollars for families on a fixed income.
  • The cost of living in Douglas is 77, which is slightly lower than the national average of 100. Housing is remarkably low at 42, but healthcare is 14 points higher at 114. However, the money that can be saved from the low housing expense could be put toward healthcare costs.
  • The crime rate in Douglas is higher than normal in the U.S. Violent crime rates a 72 compared to the national average of 31.1, and property crimes were over twice the norm of 38.1 at 80.4. Memory care units have an added layer of security for the residents, including guards, security cameras and auto-locking doors. Families should ask about safety measures at any prospective care facility.
  • Douglas scores a 72 out of 100 in Sperling's Comfort Index, due to an abundance of days with pleasant weather. Annually, the city averages 222 sunny days, no snow and 48 inches of rain. Mild winters and summers with average temperatures from 38 to 93 make Douglas an attractive area for seniors with painful joints or respiratory diseases like asthma or lung cancer.
