What to Consider About Memory Care in Bucks County

Located northeast of Philadelphia, Bucks County's population is 628,341 people, and 18.1 percent of the population is 65 or older, which is an age bracket prone to Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

Alzheimer's Special Care Units (SCUs), as they're called in Pennsylvania are licensed and governed by the Office of Long-Term Living and are available to offer support to people with cognitive ailments. There are 13 SCUs in the Bucks County that seniors and their families can select from, including three in Yardley, two in Newtown and another eight throughout the county.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Bucks County

 

  • Pennsylvania seniors aged 60 and above enjoy tax-exempt retirement income, including Social Security benefits, pensions, and funds from other retirement accounts. This senior-friendly exemption and the low sales tax rate may leave extra room in a family's budget for memory care.
  • Bucks County's climate is very close to the national average. It gets 48 inches of rain, 23 inches of snow and 205 sunny days as compared to U.S. norms of 39, 26, and 205, respectively. July high temperatures are a comfortable 85 degrees, and the January lows can drop to 21. The county also received a 48 Comfort Index from Sperling, which is six points below the U.S. average. The temperate weather is great for seniors who prefer four distinct seasons and enjoy supervised outdoor activities throughout the year.
  • The Bucks County cost of living rating is high at 132 compared to the national median, 100. Housing and transportation are especially high at 169 and 139, respectively. Utilities are closer to the U.S. mean at 105, and grocery costs are even at 100. Healthcare is slightly higher at 112, so families may want to explore ways to stretch their budget, especially if they are living on a fixed income.
  • Bucks County is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as Doylestown Hospital and Jefferson Health, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
