What to Consider About Memory Care in Arcola

The small town of Arcola is set in the middle of cornfields in the eastern part of Illinois, about 30 miles east of Decatur. Only 20,000 people live in Douglas County, where Arcola is located, and 12 percent of them are seniors age 65 and over. There are just two memory care facilities in Arcola and nearby Mattoon to serve local seniors with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

Memory care facilities in the state of Illinois must carry a current license from the Illinois Department of Public Health Division of Long-Term Care, which inspects licensed care facilities an average of once a year.

  • Weather in Arcola sees summer highs of 87 degrees in July, but winter lows dip to around 20 degrees in December and January. Arcola gets an average 40 inches of rain and 14 inches of snow a year. The rain can raise a lot of pollen in the cornfields that surround Arcola, which may aggravate asthma for many seniors.
  • The cost of living in Arcola is significantly lower than the cost of living elsewhere in the nation. Families of seniors in memory care in Arcola pay about 23 percent less for living expenses than the national average. Healthcare is roughly 5 percent above the national average rate.
  • Crime is extremely rare in Arcola, even by the standards of small towns in America. Overall, the crime rate is just 15 percent the national average, with violent crimes hardly ever being reported. Years pass in Arcola between robberies and arson, and it is not uncommon for only half a dozen thefts to be reported to police.
  • The Arcola area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Paris Community Hospital and HSHS Good Shepherd Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
