Rogers is a city adjacent to the Ozarks, a region renowned for its waterfalls, lakes and caves. The city has a population of approximately 68,700. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, an estimated 9.9% of its residents are aged 65 and over, the age group most at risk of developing Alzheimer's and forms of dementia. The condition increasingly factors in early deaths, as a recent study by the Alzheimer's Association confirms. Dementia plays a part in one in three deaths of seniors. In Rogers, figures released by the Centers for Disease Control show a 7.41% increase in dementia-related deaths between 2014 and 2018.
These statistics expose a growing problem. Fortunately, advances in medications, therapies and treatments mean that seniors with dementia receive higher levels of care than ever before. In Rogers, there is an abundance of memory care communities where seniors can live fulfilling lives in safe and comfortable environments. They are cared for by professionals trained in caring for adults dealing with cognitive decline. Seniors in the area can also access numerous resources that may aid them. This guide deals with some of those resources in more detail and supplies a list of the area's memory care facilities.
A SeniorScore reflects a location's suitability for seniors, taking into account 100+ variables in four categories vital to good living. The average SeniorScore across the country is 72. In Arkansas, it's 69, while in Roger's, it's 67. The overall cost of living in the city is low, placing the Finances category in first position. Factors that see this category awarded the most points include a higher than average mean household income, property taxes of total income and property value that are significantly lower than U.S. averages and assisted living costs below those faced by the typical American.
In addition to very short commute times that make Rogers an easy city to get around, the climate was a major factor in the General Quality of Life category placing second. Seniors in the area get to breathe better quality air than many across the country, and the comfortable winters and warm summers mean they're not exposed to wild temperature changes either. In the Health & Safety category, the city's high number of Medicare registered physicians, 123 pharmacies and three hospitals ensure it can cater to every possible medical need. U.S. News & World Report rates Mercy Hospital Northwest Arkansas as particularly high-performing in the fields of cancer care and cardiology.
In the final category, Recreation & Leisure, the city's wealth of things to do for seniors earn it many points. There are 129 grocery stores and 16 malls for those who love to shop, 74 churches in which to worship, and 10 parks to enjoy, such as the beautiful Compton Gardens and Arboretum. There are also 21 municipal and member-only golf courses.
Memory care communities are usually within assisted living facilities. Seniors are constantly supervised, ensuring they always have help to hand. There is also 24/7 security to protect seniors from leaving safe spaces. The latest treatments, medications and therapies are delivered by professionals, while specially trained staff provide standard support. All of these services mean memory care typically costs 20-30% more than assisted living. Since there isn't an authoritative source for memory care costs, the following figures come from adding 25% to the assisted living costs published in the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey.
At $4,875, monthly memory care costs in Rogers are above the state average of $4,375. However, the city's seniors pay $500 less per month than the average American. It is worth noting that when comparing costs, many factors are at play. For example, each facility will provide variations in its services and staff-to-resident ratios. The general cost of living in the area may also influence costs.
Rogers is at the high end of the memory costs scale for Arkansas. Approximately 80 minutes down I-49 to Fort Smith sees costs drop to $4,258, while in the state capital, Little Rock, the fall is even greater, with monthly fees of $3,906. Crossing into Tulsa, Oklahoma, sees costs leap by an additional $774 per month when compared to Rogers. However, Missouri appears to be more affordable. In Joplin, which is 80 minutes north, memory care typically costs $3,125, while in Springfield it's $3,875. However, up in Kansas, seniors in Wichita pay $6,460 for memory care services.
