Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in White Plains

  • White Plains is a relatively expensive place to live with an overall cost of living that’s 58% higher than the national norm. While this is mainly due to high housing prices that are more than double the nationwide average, residents may also pay more for health care, food and utilities. This may make residential care an attractive alternative to living alone, particularly for vulnerable seniors with dementia.
  • Located in the city proper, White Plains Hospital offers exceptional medical care to older residents, including those with memory-related disorders. The hospital has been voted among the most beautiful in the nation and is an industry leader in safety and positive patient experiences. It features a range of specialties, including cancer screenings and care, cardiac services and neurology.
  • In New York, Social Security benefits are tax-exempt, providing significant savings for older adults who rely primarily on this type of income for retirement. While other forms of retirement income are taxable, the state allows a deduction of up to $20,000, which can help some seniors and families afford residential memory care expenses in White Plains.
  • The American Lung Association assigns Westchester County, where White Plains is located, a D for ozone pollution. This score indicates high levels of smog over an annual basis, which may be a consideration for prospective memory care residents with cardiovascular or respiratory conditions. Fortunately, many memory care facilities offer indoor activities and have air purification systems to support residents’ health.
  • Summers in White Plains are warm and humid, with daytime highs ranging from 74 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit. The city’s cold season lasts from early December until mid-March and has average daytime temperatures between 37 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit. To help residents make the most of the comfortable seasons, memory care facilities often schedule therapeutic outdoor activities, such as picnics and gardening.
