What to Consider About Memory Care in Montgomery County

The dementia-friendly community of Montgomery County is home to over 1 million people and has a large senior community that accounts for almost 15 percent of the population.  In this county, Alzheimer's disease and dementia are particularly common, with 12 percent of Medicare recipients who are seniors currently living with these diseases.  

There are over two dozen memory care facilities in Montgomery County. In Maryland, including this county, memory care services may be offered in an independent facility, but they are most commonly provided in assisted living programs.   

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Ozone pollution levels in Montgomery County are moderate, with the county receiving a "C" for this type of pollution from the American Lung Association. Particle pollution levels are very low, however, with the county receiving an "A" for 24-hour particle pollution and a passing score for annual particle pollution. This may make the county a good option for seniors with respiratory illnesses.
  • The amount that seniors pay toward state income taxes largely depends on the source of their retirement income. Social Security benefits and income from public pensions are tax-exempt, and there is a large deduction available for other types of retirement income. This may affect how much money can be put toward memory care in Montgomery County.
  • Montgomery County's overall cost of living is over 50 percent higher than the national average. This is primarily due to the high cost of housing, as well as above-average grocery and utility expenses, all of which may result in higher memory care costs. 
  • On a 100-point scale, with a lower value indicating less crime, Montgomery County's violent crime rate is 28.8 and the property crime rate is 31.7, both of which are several points below the state and national averages. This may appeal to families seeking a safe community for memory care services.
