In Pennsylvania, more than a quarter of a million seniors were living with Alzheimer's disease in 2018, with the number expected to grow by 14.3 percent by 2025. In Lansdale, where almost 15 percent of the city's population is over age 65, the need for around-the-clock care for seniors with dementia is also on the rise.

While making the decision to move into a facility may be difficult, it is not always possible for families to provide the necessary level of care at home. Lansdale's close to 30 memory care facilities offers families an alternative way to provide secure, compassionate care for their loved ones. These facilities are officially known throughout Pennsylvania as Special Care Units (SCUs) and fall under the umbrella of Assisted Living Residences (ALRs).

• The fewer taxes a senior has to pay, the more assets they will have available to help finance memory care services. In Lansdale, as in the rest of Pennsylvania, Social Security benefits, pension income and distributions from 401(k) plans and IRAs are all tax-free. 
  
• In Montgomery County, where Lansdale is located, the air receives a failing grade for ozone pollution, which may put seniors' health at risk. They may wish to avoid a facility's outdoor exercise area when there are air quality alerts.
  
• The Lansdale area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as the Penn Memory Center in nearby Philadelphia, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  
• To compare costs across the country, Sperling's Best Places begins by assigning a value of 100 to the U.S. national average cost of living.  Pennsylvania's average cost of living is the same as the national average, while Lansdale's value is 113, which means that the city's overall living costs are 13 percent more expensive than national and state averages. Families who are budgeting for memory care services in the area may want to plan accordingly.
