What to Consider About Memory Care in Ramsey County

The large community of Ramsey County, Minnesota has nearly 550,000 residents, a little over 14 percent of whom are aged 65 and over. According to data published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 12 percent of Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and over have Alzheimer's disease or dementia.  

In Ramsey County, as in all of Minnesota, the official term for memory care facilities is “special care units." In many cases, SCUs are located within assisted living facilities. These facilities, which the state also refers to as housing with services establishments, are required to register annually with the Department of Health. Ramsey County families have eight memory care facilities to choose from, all of which are in the city of Saint Paul. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Particle pollution levels in Ramsey County are moderate, with the county receiving a C for short-term particle pollution and a passing score for annual particle pollution from the American Lung Association. This may be a consideration for families whose senior loved one has a condition like COPD.
  • Ramsey County seniors pay state income tax on all types of retirement income, including Social Security benefits and income from government pensions. This may reduce how much money can go toward local memory care expenses.  
  • The cost of living in Ramsey County is about 14 percent higher than the national median and 8 percent higher than the statewide median. Housing is pricey in this county, which may drive up memory care costs and pose a financial challenge for families and seniors with restrictive budgets. 
  • Summers in Ramsey County are pleasant with highs in the low-80s. Winters can be harsh, however, with lows in the single digits and an average of 52 inches of snowfall. This may make local driving difficult for families visiting loved ones in memory care here.
