What to Consider About Memory Care in Sandy

Sandy is a suburb of Salt Lake City and has a population of a little over 96,000 people, about 12 percent of whom are seniors. The city is situated in the state of Utah, where the Alzheimer's Association reports that 31,000 seniors have Alzheimer's disease. 

To support local seniors with dementia, the Sandy area has more than two dozen memory care facilities, with three facilities in Sandy and another 25 in the surrounding region. In Sandy, as in the rest of Utah, memory care facilities are generally housed within Type II assisted living facilities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Sandy

  • The cost of living in Sandy is about 34 percent higher than the national average, and health care expenses are about 4 percent higher here than they are elsewhere in the country. This may affect how much money a senior can put toward memory care.
  • While summers in Sandy tend to be hot, the area has virtually no humidity, which can make the heat more tolerable for seniors. The warmest month of the year is July when highs are in the low-90s. Winters are chilly with lows in the 20s, and the city receives an average of 78 inches of snow annually. This may impede local travel for families visiting their loved ones in memory care here.
  • Property crime in Sandy is a little higher than the national average, but the rate of violent crime is significantly below regional, state and national averages. On a 100-point scale, with 100 representing high crime, the property crime rate in Sandy is 41.9, compared to the U.S. average of 38.1, and the violent crime rate is 12.4, versus the national median of 31.1. Families who are transitioning their loved ones to memory care in Sandy can feel confident that the city is safe.
  • Utah is among the few states that impose an income tax on Social Security benefits, as well as all other types of retirement income. Seniors who receive pension income can claim a small deduction to help offset the expense.
