What to Consider About Memory Care in Overland Park
Overland Park, which is situated in Johnson County, Kansas, has a population of nearly 200,000, roughly 14 percent of whom are over the age of 65 — some of which have Alzheimer's disease or some other form of dementia. The city is home to The University of Kansas Health System, which has received numerous awards for being among the best hospitals in the country for geriatrics and is an industry leader in researching the causes of dementia. The Overland Park itself supports local seniors with dementia by offering a dozen memory care facilities, and families will find 11 more outside the city limits.
- Seniors with respiratory illnesses or cardiovascular disease can breathe easy in Overland Park, which has outstanding air quality. The American Lung Association gave Johnson County an "A" for both ozone pollution and 24-hour particle pollution as well as a passing grade for annual particle pollution.
- Overland Park's year-round climate is typical of the Midwest, with hot, muggy summers and cold, windy winters. While the high summer humidity levels may be a consideration for seniors who enjoy being outdoors, the area's relatively modest annual snowfall may make travel easier for families visiting their loved ones at their memory care facility.
- While the overall cost of living in Overland Park is 30 percent higher than the state average and 20 percent higher than the national average, this is primarily due to the high cost of housing in the area. When it comes to healthcare expenses, seniors can expect to pay only slightly more than they would in other cities in the state and country.
- Overland Park is a safe city with a relatively low crime rate, which may provide peace of mind to families who are helping their loved ones make the transition to a memory care facility. On a scale of 1 to 100, with 1 representing low crime, the rate of violent crime is 12.2 and the rate of property crime is 33.5, compared to the respective national averages of 31.1 and 38.1.
