Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Mclean

 

  • McLean’s temperate climate offers humid summers and cold winters. While the city gets 44 inches of rain throughout the year, more than the U.S. average of 38 inches, memory care facilities have plenty of indoor activities for rainy days. 
  • The State of the Air Report 2023 shows that the air quality in McLean is mixed. Ozone pollution gets a C grade. However, particle pollution receives a B grade in the report, which may be beneficial to seniors with respiratory issues. 
  • There are 299 physicians per capita in McLean, compared to the national average of 210. Older adults in the area can find quality care from organizations such as Johns Hopkins Community Physicians. Hospital care in McLean is provided by Inova Fairfax Hospital, and there are more world-class facilities available in nearby Washington, D.C.
  • McLean is a safe city when compared to communities of a similar size and Virginia as a whole. The violent crime rate is 0.65 per capita compared to the state average of 2.27 per capita. The property crime rate is also lower than the Virginia average. This may reassure safety-conscious seniors and their families.
  • The overall cost of living in McLean is more than double the U.S. average. This is largely due to the very high cost of housing in the city. Some expenses, such as health care, have costs closer to national averages, however. Plus, seniors can access government programs to help them manage their budgets.
