What to Consider About Memory Care in Edmonds

All memory care communities in Edmonds obtain licensing through the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, Aging and Long-Term Support Administration. This department promotes a high standard of care for residents by enforcing standard rules for housing, care services and staffing. It monitors compliance through regular inspections and by creating improvement plans for facilities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Edmonds

Washington doesn’t have a state income tax, significantly reducing tax liability for memory care residents in Edmonds. The state makes up for the lack of revenue by imposing some of the highest sales taxes in the nation, but it exempts prescription drugs to provide relief for seniors managing chronic health conditions.
Edmonds’ cost of living exceeds the national average by 36% and the Washington norm by nearly 12%. While this may be a concern for residents who have limited budgets for long-term care, the state provides assistance with memory care expenses for qualified individuals through the Residential Support Waiver.
Daytime temperatures in Edmonds range from 46 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to 78 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, and residents see cloudy skies throughout the year. The region rarely experiences noticeable humidity but gets about 44 inches of rainfall annually, most of which comes during the winter months. To help residents remain comfortable and active year-round, memory care communities host indoor activities, such as brain games and fitness classes.
Swedish Health Services, a major health care network, serves local memory care residents through the Swedish Edmonds Campus. This 217-bed hospital has a staff of over 450 certified physicians who specialize in a range of disciplines, including internal medicine, medical imaging and cardiovascular services. The hospital houses a neurology department, which diagnoses and treats Alzheimer’s and other types of memory loss.
Compared to the rest of Washington, crime happens at a low rate in Edmonds, with the city reporting about 29 incidents per 1,000 people in a given year. Violent crime accounts for a little more than two incidents per 1,000 people versus the Washington rate of 3.76. Property-related offenses make up the rest of reported infractions, and although the rate of 26.27 outpaces the national norm, it comes in well below the Washington average of 33.56. Neighborhoods in the north part of the city, including Meadowdale North and Perrinville, report even less crime and may be good options for prospective memory care residents.
