What to Consider About Memory Care in Monroe County

Monroe County, Michigan is home to a little more than 150,000 residents, nearly 20 percent of whom are seniors age 65 or older. Many seniors in the area have been diagnosed with some form of dementia such as Alzheimer's Disease, which affects an estimated 180,000 seniors throughout the state. 

The Monroe County area is home to four memory care facilities that provide residential care and health services to seniors with dementia. These facilities, as well as those that provide basic assisted living services, are officially known as homes for the aged in Michigan and are regulated closely by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services

Healthcare is nearly 10 percent less expensive than in the average U.S. city and housing is more than 20 percent below average. These low costs are likely to be reflected in both healthcare and room and board costs in memory care services.
