What to Consider About Memory Care in West Allis

In West Allis, nearly 15 percent of the city's 60,000 residents are seniors age 65 and over. The city is located in southeastern Wisconsin, a region of the state where the Alzheimer's Association projects that 50,000 seniors have Alzheimer's disease. The Southeastern Wisconsin Chapter provides an array of resources for local seniors with Alzheimer's and their families, including informational resources, referrals and opportunities to participate in clinical trials.

West Allis is home to two memory care facilities, and there are 18 more in nearby communities for local families to choose from. In the West Allis region, as in all of the state, memory care facilities are generally situated within licensed community-based residential facilities. These facilities are licensed and monitored through the Wisconsin Department of Health Services

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in West Allis

  • The West Allis area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Aurora Health Care Specialty Clinic, in the event of medical emergencies or illness. 
  • While the overall cost of living is relatively low compared to the national average, healthcare costs are about 5 percent higher here than they are in the nation as a whole, though they are on par with the statewide average. This may be a consideration for families whose senior loved one has a chronic condition like dementia. 
  • West Allis is rated to be safer than 11 percent of U.S. cities, with much of the city's crime being property related. Families may want to ensure that the memory care facility they choose for their loved one takes measures to ensure the safety of residents and their belongings. 
  • In Wisconsin, Social Security income and public pension income are not taxed at the state level; however, all other types of retirement income are fully taxable. This may affect how much money can be put into the memory care budget in West Allis. 

Memory Care Laws and Regulations in West Allis

West Allis-area memory care communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all memory care communities in Wisconsin are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in Wisconsin page for more information about these laws.
