Free Memory Care Resources in Vancouver

Seniors living with dementia can take advantage of a number of programs maintained by both private and government organizations. These Vancouver-area programs can help older adults find financial support, make social connections and address concerns about quality of care.

ResourceContactService
Specialized Dementia Care Program(866) 743-5144Offered and administered by the Washington DSHS, this program is intended to provide funding for memory care for adults in state assisted living facilities. Adults taking advantage of this package receive personalized care plans developed with the help and input of their family members, among other benefits. The DSHS works directly with assisted living facilities to provide this program.
Luepke Senior Center(360) 487-7050This social hub for Vancouver's older adults offers a wide variety of recreational activities. In addition to painting clubs, knitting clubs, book discussion groups and card games, the Luepke Center holds a popular weekly live-music dance night for seniors.
Washington State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program(800) 562-6028Ombudsmen are charged with acting as investigators of complaints regarding quality care in assisted living facilities, nursing homes and similar long-term care situations.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Vancouver

  • In general, the state of Washington has a higher cost of living than the average state in the U.S. On a scale where 100 represents that national average, Washington scores 118.7. On the positive side, Vancouver is slightly cheaper than the rest of the state, scoring a 114.3 overall on that same scale, and its health care costs and utilities rank much lower than average.
  • The Pacific Northwest has a reputation for wet weather and gray skies, and Vancouver reflects it: This city only gets 143 sunny days a year, compared to the national average of 205. Rainfall is slightly above average, with 42 inches of rain per year versus the U.S. average of 38. However, snow is a fairly rare occurrence here; Vancouver averages a mere 3 inches per year. 
  • At 8.4%, sales taxes in this area are nearly 1 percentage point over the national average of 7.3%. However, Washington state has no personal income tax, which can make it a particularly appealing retirement location for seniors.
  • With the bustling city of Portland just over the Columbia River from Vancouver, seniors have near-immediate access to a number of highly respected Oregon hospitals. OHSU, Providence St. Vincent Medical Center and Providence Portland Medical Center are all ranked in the top five of state medical facilities by U.S. News & World Report.
  • Vancouver’s mild temperatures are excellent for seniors who prefer to avoid extremes of hot and cold. High temperatures range from the mid-60s to the low 80s from May to October, and even in the winter months, the low temperatures flirt with freezing but rarely drop below 32 degrees.
