What to Consider About Memory Care in Chisago County

About about 20 miles north of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, Chisago County, Minnesota has a population of over 55,000. Of these residents, 15 percent are aged 65 and older, and may be living with Alzheimer's disease, a diagnosis that impacts the lives of 94,000 seniors across the state.

To ensure proper care is available, the Minnesota Board on Aging has developed a State Plan emphasizing the need for memory care facilities. Two of these facilities, which are considered Special Care Units (SCUs) in the county and across the state, are currently available to serve the residents of Chisago County.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • On a scale to 100, with 100 representing high crime, Chisago County receives a 28.6 in the category of violent crime and 24.3 in terms of property crime. These scores fall below the U.S. national averages of 31.1 and 38.1 in the same categories, respectively, which may offer peace of mind to seniors and their families, though it's still a good idea to review an SCUs security policies and procedures.
  • Based on the U.S. national average of 100, the cost of living in Chisago County is rated 111.9, which is also higher than the Minnesota state average of 106. This may be something for seniors with limited funds to be mindful of when budgeting for memory services.
  • Chisago County is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as Cambridge Medical Center, St. Croix Regional Medical Center and Fairview Lakes Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • In terms of overall comfort, Chisago County only scores a rating of 35 out of a possible 100, largely due to the harsh conditions residents experience during the winter months. The area receives nearly 50 inches of snow throughout the season and temperatures can drop to just one degree. When visiting an SCU, consider asking about the measures the facility has in place to protect its senior residents from becoming exposed to cold, unfavorable weather.
