Home to nearly 40,000 people, 13.1% of whom are aged 65 and older, Issaquah is a city at the southern end of Lake Sammamish and straddles Interstate 90. Many seniors and their families are affected by the rising number of Alzheimer's cases and other forms of dementia in Issaquah. According to the Centers for Disease Control, Alzheimer's deaths rose by 8.08% from 2014 to 2018, compared to just a 6% rise in overall deaths. In 2018, 11.72% of all deaths in Issaquah were related to Alzheimer's disease.
Seniors and families in Issaquah who are affected by this rise in Alzheimer's disease and dementia may find that memory care is their best option. Memory care units, which are often within existing assisted living facilities, are designed to slow the mental decline of seniors with cognitive diseases. They accomplish this by providing 24-hour supervision, therapies and activities that promote mental engagement. In this guide, families considering memory care can learn more about the costs as well as community resources that can improve quality of life.
Issaquah has a SeniorScore of 70, and the national average score is 72. Issaquah performed best in the Health & Safety category with a score of 66 and got its lowest score in the General Quality of Life category with a score of 54.
Seniors in Issaquah have access to quality health care options. The city has a high number of Medicare-registered physicians, more than 250 senior living facilities and four hospitals within close range. One of these hospitals is the University of Washington's Valley Medical Center, which is considered high performing in conditions related to cardiology and heart surgery. Quality hospitals are complemented by more than 350 nearby pharmacies. Issaquah also has low rates of violent crime, giving seniors and families peace of mind.
Issaquah's SeniorScore for both Recreation & Leisure and Finances is 64. While the area has a relatively low percentage of seniors, there are plenty of destinations for older adults to enjoy, including 16 movie theaters and 29 parks. The overall cost of living in Issaquah is high compared to both state and national averages. Senior care costs are also high, as Issaquah has the most expensive memory care in the region. While overall costs are high, property taxes are low and median incomes are well above average.
In General Quality of Life, Issaquah earns a score of 54. This is partly due to the region's rainy climate; the area gets an average of 53 inches of rain per year with only 154 sunny days. According to the American Lung Association, King County gets an F for ozone pollution but a passing grade for particle pollution.
Seniors in Issaquah who need special attention due to cognitive decline can get the care they deserve in memory care units inside assisted living facilities. These special units include all the services and amenities of standard assisted living communities as well as specially trained staff and enhanced security to ensure the health, safety and comfort of residents with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Due to these additional services, the cost of staying in a memory care unit is usually 20-30% more than a standard stay in an assisted living facility. Since Genworth Financial's Cost of Care Survey does not include memory care costs, the estimated prices are calculated by adding 25% to the cost of assisted living.
The average rate for memory care in Issaquah is $8,348 per month, which is significantly higher than the Washington average of $7,188 per month and the national average of $5,375 per month. Seniors and families in Issaquah may pay more or less than this average depending on things like location, luxury amenities and unique care options.
Issaquah is the most expensive city in the state for memory care. The only comparable city is Mount Vernon to the north, where the average cost is $7,313 per month. Memory care costs decrease as distances increase from the Seattle metro area. Bellingham has some of the most affordable prices in the state with a monthly average of $5,923. In the state capital of Olympia, the average price families pay for memory care is $6,423 per month. The rate is similar in Yakima to the east and Bremerton to the north. Out in the Cascade Mountains, Wenatchee has a monthly average of $6,841 for memory care.
