The Oregon Department of Human Services oversees the licensing and regulation of all community-based care settings in Ashland and across the state of Oregon, including assisted living facilities (ALFs), residential care facilities (RCFs) and memory care communities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Ashland

  • Located at the base of the Siskiyou and Cascade mountain ranges, seniors in Ashland are surrounded by picturesque scenery and vibrant culture. Active seniors have access to numerous lakes, parks and hiking trails for year-round outdoor recreation. The city is also home to numerous theaters, art galleries and museums, as well as several award-winning wineries.
  • Compared to the average city in Oregon, the cost of living in Ashland is slightly higher. It’s also 25.5% higher than the U.S. national average largely due to housing and grocery costs. Seniors may need to budget accordingly when deciding where to allocate their retirement funds.
  • Rates of violent crime are low in Ashland, which may offer seniors and their families peace of mind. On a scale of 1 to 100, with 100 representing high crime, the city scores a 10.1, which is significantly lower than the U.S. national average of 22.7. However, rates of property crime are above, so it’s worthwhile to inquire about a facility’s safety features and policies.
  • Overall, seniors can enjoy a relatively temperate climate in Ashland. Summertime is characterized by plenty of sunshine and temperatures climbing as high as 89 degrees. Winters are relatively mild, with temperatures expected to remain above 30 degrees and very little snowfall.
  • According to the American Lung Association, the air quality in Ashland is below average. The region receives an F grade in terms of high ozone days and a failing grade in regards to its 24-hour and annual particle pollution. This may be something to consider for seniors with respiratory issues.
  • Oregon is considered to be relatively tax-friendly towards retirees. Social Security retirement benefits are exempt from taxation and the state has no sales tax. However, retirement accounts like a 401(k) or an IRA are subject to regular income tax rates.
