What to Consider About Memory Care in Milwaukee
Wisconsin’s memory care facilities are overseen by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. The state’s memory care facilities are officially categorized as community-based residential facilities. The Wisconsin DHS’ Division of Quality Assurance is responsible for the welfare of those living in CBRFs.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Milwaukee
- Milwaukee’s cost of living is measurably lower than both U.S. and Wisconsin averages. On the BestPlaces scale, where 100 represents the national average, Wisconsin rates 90.9 and Milwaukee rates 84.9.
- With a score of 9.3 out of 10 on the BestPlaces Comfort Index, Milwaukee easily beats the U.S. average of 7.8. Milwaukee enjoys quite mild summers; even in the hottest months, high temperatures barely break the 80s. The city’s lakeside location means that winters can get fairly cold, with average January highs under freezing at 30 degrees.
- AARP has repeatedly highlighted Milwaukee as one of the most livable cities in the United States for older adults; as of 2022, it’s No. 5 on the national list and the top-rated city in the Midwest. AARP’s criteria for livability include quality of health care, convenience of transportation and opportunity for social engagement, among others.
- Milwaukee is very convenient to Chicago by train. The ride from Milwaukee’s Intermodal Station to the larger city’s Union Station is only about 90 minutes long, which can make Milwaukee a good choice for seniors with family in Chicago. In terms of intracity transportation, eligible seniors can sign up for the discounted GO Pass, which allows unlimited trips on Milwaukee County buses for $2 per day.
- Unfortunately, crime is quite a bit higher in Milwaukee than elsewhere in America. The city ranks 73.1 on a 1-100 scale for violent crime compared to the national average of 22.7. For property crime, the numbers are 59.5 for Milwaukee and 35.4 for the national average. However, as of 2020 data, crime has been falling in the area since hitting a high in 2017.
