What to Consider About Memory Care in Ontario County

Ontario County, located in the southwestern region of New York, has a population of nearly 110,000 residents, nearly one in five of whom are aged 65 and over. According to data published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, over 14% of seniors in this county who receive Medicaid services are living with Alzheimer's disease.

In Ontario County, as in all of the state, memory care is generally provided in adult care facilities that are licensed by New York's Department of Health as special needs assisted living facilities. Ontario County has two memory care facilities, including one in Canandaigua and one in Geneva.

  • Ontario County seniors do not pay state income tax on their Social Security benefits, and while other types of retirement income are taxed, a large deduction can be claimed to help minimize the expense. This may allow seniors and families to put more money in the budget for memory care services. 
  • Summers in Ontario County are comfortable with highs around 80 degrees, which may be suitable for seniors who enjoy relaxing outdoors. Winters are chilly, however, with lows around 16 degrees and an average snowfall of 57 inches, which is more than double the national average. This may pose a concern for seniors who use mobility aids. 
  • Ontario County is a very affordable place to live, which may make it an attractive option for seniors and families with restrictive memory care budgets. The cost of real estate is about 15% below the national average and 65% below the statewide average, which may bring down memory care costs. 
  • Ontario County is a relatively safe community, with property crime and violent crime rates that are well below the statewide and nationwide averages. On a scale of one to 100, property crime is rated 22, versus the national average of 35.4, and violent crime is rated 9.6, versus the national average of 22.7. This may provide peace of mind for families researching local memory care options.

The memory care does not have well trained staff. Heard one in particular yelling at a resident and saying unnecessary things. Made me feel uncomfortable and sad for the resident.
