What to Consider About Memory Care in Gresham

In 2018, there were an estimated 65,000 people age 65 and older in Oregon with Alzheimer's disease, and this number is expected to increase by 29.2 percent by the year 2025. In the city of Gresham, seniors in this age group account for almost 13 percent of the population. 

For families seeking memory care services in the area, there are over 30 different memory care facilities available in Gresham and nearby towns, such as Beaverton and Troutdale. In Gresham and throughout Oregon, the Oregon Department of Human Services licenses memory care facilities as assisted living facilities (ALFs), residential care facilities (RCFs) or nursing facilities. All facilities offering memory care services in Oregon must receive a special endorsement on their licenses and follow state-specific rules for providing memory care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Gresham

 

  • Gresham's climate may limit how much time seniors want to spend outside. Situated just east of Portland, Gresham gets more than its fair share of clouds and rain. On average, around 48 inches of rain cascade down on Gresham annually, while the city enjoys only about 144 days of sunshine in a given year.
  • For seniors living in Gresham, as in the rest of Oregon, the main tax benefit is that the state does not tax Social Security income. However, other types of retirement income are taxable.  
  • Although the city of Gresham is more affordable than nearby Portland, its living costs may still be a barrier for seniors on a budget. Overall, Gresham's cost of living is almost 25 percent above the national average. More affordable communities in the region include Springfield, Oregon, with living costs that are only 6 percent above the U.S. average. 
  • When considering a memory care facility in Gresham, families may want to inquire about the crime rate of the neighborhood where the facility is located. With an incidence of 31 crimes per 1,000 residents, Gresham's crime rate, while comparable to cities of a similar size, is higher than the national average. Across the U.S., 83 percent of cities are considered safer than Gresham.
