What to Consider About Memory Care in Shawnee

Shawnee, Kansas, has been named one of the nation's best places to live according to Money Magazine. This Kansas City suburb has a population of 65,513, including 8,000 senior citizens and some 860 adults with dementia, Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive and neurological disorders.

Unlike some states, Kansas doesn't have specific dementia care regulations. Properties that provide memory care must follow the same regulations as all assisted living facilities. Additionally, they must have specialized employee training programs and exit protocols. Shawnee residents can choose from more than a dozen assisted living facilities that provide memory care services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Shawnee

  • Shawnee, Kansas, is home to several world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as the AdventHealth Shawnee Mission Neurology Care department and the University of Kansas Alzheimer's Disease Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  •  In general, seniors are more susceptible to particulates and other pollutants, even those who don't have asthma or COPD. Fortunately, the air in Johnson County has received an A rating from the American Lung Association for its low concentration of ozone and particulates.
  • The cost of living in Shawnee is just above the national average and moderately higher than the state average. Although residents pay a little bit more for housing, healthcare and miscellaneous expenses, the cost of groceries, utilities and transportation is slightly less than average, which can benefit family decision makers who must consider the affordability of memory care and related services.
  • Seniors in Shawnee can feel comfortable due to the city's safety track record. With one being the safest and 100 being with most dangerous, Shawnee has a property crime score of 28.4 and a violent crime score of 12.1 compared to the national average of 38.1 and 31.1 respectively. Still, memory care facilities should have adequate safety controls to protect residents at all times.

Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Shawnee

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