Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Easton

 

  • Easton’s seniors who live alone and own their homes have higher living costs than the national average. However, Medical Assistance — Pennsylvania’s Medicaid program — may indirectly cover partial memory care costs through the Community HealthChoices managed care waiver program.

 

  • Although health care costs in Easton are around 18.1% higher than the national average, some 93.5% of the local population has health coverage, such as Medicare or VA plans. Furthermore, the area has more doctors per capita than in many places across the country, with 226 physicians per 100,000 people in Easton compared with the U.S. average of 210.

 

  • The region has good air quality for most of the year, with a couple of months dipping to moderate. Based on the concentration of PM2.5, air quality ratings in Easton rarely exceed WHO recommendations by more than three times.  

 

 

  • Northampton County joined AARP’s Age-Friendly Network in 2018, showing its longstanding commitment to becoming more comfortable for all residents. Action plan highlights include improved affordable housing options and social inclusion initiatives.

 

  • The Lehigh Valley region is a Dementia-Friendly Community. This means that various sectors of the community, such as local government agencies, private businesses, transportation operators and health care providers, work together to improve accessibility and support for people with dementia.

 

  • Easton has lower-than-average crime rates, with violent crime 4.4 points lower than the national median and property crime prevalence 3.9 points lower than the national average. Moreover, memory care communities have extra security and safety features, such as keypad entrances, 24/7 on-site staff, pendant alarms and enclosed grounds.
