Taylor is home to around 61,000 people, and over 15 percent of the population is aged 65 or older. It's located in a state where 240,000 people have Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia. There is one memory care facility in the city to support residents with cognitive impairments and a further three nearby.

Michigan's Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs licenses adult foster care (AFCs) and homes for the aged (HFAs) in the state. There are no specific staffing or training requirements for facilities that offer specialized dementia care, but seniors or their representatives must receive specific information about the facility's ability to care for these residents.

• Social Security benefits are not taxed in Michigan. While other forms of retirement income, including pensions and retirement funds, are subject to state income tax, residents 65 and older are eligible for substantial deductions. This leaves more money available for the memory care budget.
• The Taylor area is home to world-class medical facilities, such as Beaumont Hospital, Taylor, in the event of medical emergencies or illness. It is also close to facilities specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as Henry Ford Hospital.
• Air quality in Wayne County, including Taylor, is poor. The county received a passing grade for annual particle pollution in the State of the Air 2018 report, but 24-hour particle pollution was graded as a C. In addition, the county failed in the area of ozone pollution. Families may wish to determine how this will affect their loved one's health, especially if they have respiratory conditions.
• The Sperling index rates Taylor's cost of living as 92.5, 7.5 points below the national average of 100. Health care is rated at 85, 15 points below the U.S. average, which can lead to lower costs to treat health conditions and help families find more in the budget to fund memory care for their loved ones with dementia.
