What to Consider About Memory Care in Charlottesville

Charlottesville is situated at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia, a state where over 140,000 people are living with Alzheimer's disease. The city is home to about 48,000 people, 10 percent of whom are over the age of 65. To support local seniors who have been diagnosed with dementia, Charlottesville has four memory care facilities, and there is an additional facility just outside the city limits. Some of these facilities are freestanding, while others are situated within assisted living care facilities in secure units that care for those diagnosed with dementia. In Virginia, memory care facilities are regulated by the Virginia Department of Social Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Charlottesville

 

  • Charlottesville is an expensive place to live, with a cost of living that is about 19 percent more than the nationwide average. Among the most significant factors contributing to the city's cost of living is the cost of healthcare, which is more than 50 percent higher than the national average. This may be a concern for loved ones managing finances for seniors with a chronic condition like dementia. 
  • Charlottesville summers are hot and muggy with highs in the upper-80s. Winters are chilly with lows in the upper-20s and the city receives just 16 inches of annual snowfall. This may make local travel easy for families who are visiting their loved ones in a memory care facility in this city.
  • Virginia residents do not pay income tax on Social Security retirement benefits, which may leave more money in the budget for memory care. Other types of retirement income are deductible up to $12,000 for seniors.
  •  The Charlottesville area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as the University of Virginia Health System, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
