Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Burlington

 

  • Burlington has a mild climate, with summer months averaging between 70 and 85 degrees and winter months seeing temperatures between 35 and 55 degrees. The area averages 212 sunny days per year compared to the national average of 205, and it sees an average of 3 inches of snow. This offers seniors plenty of days to enjoy quality time in the sunshine.
  • On an index with 100 as the national average, the cost of living in Burlington is just 79.4, potentially making it an affordable place to call home. This also reflects in the cost of memory care, which is lower than the national average. 
  • In Burlington, the local air quality rates 49/100, which is below the national average of 58/100. This can be concerning for seniors who are at a higher risk of respiratory illness. However, air purification systems are frequently employed in memory care communities to protect residents, and on days when the air quality is lower, seniors can enjoy indoor activities.
  • There are just 128 physicians per 100,000 people in Burlington, well below the national average of 210. However, the city is home to Alamance Regional Medical Center, which is highly rated in numerous procedures. It's also just an hour away from Duke Neurology of Raleigh, where seniors can get high-quality dementia care, and around 40 minutes from Duke Geriatrics North Durham.
  • Crime rates in Burlington are above national norms. On a scale of 1 to 100, violent crime ranks 37 while property crime ranks 56.5. In comparison, the national averages are 22.7 and 35.4, respectively. While these numbers are higher than normal, most memory care communities employ high-quality security systems to protect residents, which can act as a deterrent for criminals.
  • In Burlington, the income tax rate is 5.5%, which is slightly higher than the national average of 4.6%. However, sales tax rates are slightly lower than the national average of 7.3%, averaging 6.8% in the city. Local seniors can also benefit from paying zero taxes on Social Security benefits.
