13 miles away from Hampton, VA
Hampton is a city located on the southern coast of Virginia, one of the cities forming the Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Hampton Tri-City area, home to many fine beaches and an important U.S. naval base. It is a city with a population of 134,510 residents of whom 15% are aged 65 or older. Like too many other cities in the United States, Hampton is an area where the number of residents suffering from Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related diseases is on the rise.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, between 2014 and 2018 the number of Alzheimer’s-related deaths in the Hampton area rose by 42.11%. When compared to the overall death rate from all other causes of 3.56%, it is easy to see that Alzheimer’s-related deaths are a serious issue.
Fortunately, there are communities and facilities in Hampton that can provide care for those afflicted with dementia-related diseases. These facilities can provide specific care and therapies to deal with memory loss, as well as around-the-clock supervision. In this guide, we'll look at the cost of memory care in Hampton and in other Virginia cities. We’ll also provide some resources where families or caretakers of those suffering from Alzheimer’s can look for assistance.
The SeniorScore is a rating designed to provide seniors with an overview of living conditions in communities across the United States. It’s composed of over 100 different data points and broken down into four main areas: Health & Safety, Recreation & Leisure, Finances and General Quality of Life.
Hampton has quite a good SeniorScore of 77. That’s one point lower than the state average of 78 but several points above the national average of 72. Its best scores came in the categories of General Quality of Life with a 72 and in Health & Safety with a 68.
General Quality of Life is the top-scoring category. While the Hampton area receives high annual levels of rainfall, it enjoys mild winters and warm summers. Air quality is also good. Another plus is that with three different cities very close to each other, residents have a short daily commute. The city’s schools have excellent scholastic and safety ratings and a good public transportation system that is used by many residents.
Health & Safety scored well for several reasons including the high number of Medicare-registered physicians working in the area. There are nine hospitals in the Greater Hampton, Norfolk and Virginia Beach area, as well as 224 pharmacies. There are 50 senior living facilities in and around the area, including those equipped to deal with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases.
Hampton’s lowest mark of 65 came in Finances. While property taxes are lower than the national average, Hampton has a high cost of living. Household income is also lower than national averages. The average cost of a new home is significantly lower than the state average.
In Hampton, seniors and others who need memory care may reside in assisted living facilities outfitted to deal with their special needs. These facilities provide treatment and care beyond what you would find in a regular assisted living facility, including special therapies, specially trained staff and security measures that provide 24-hour supervision. These features also mean that the cost of memory care in an assisted living facility is 20% to 30% higher. Unfortunately, there are no sources that can provide exact costs for memory care, so the following figures are based on the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020, to which we’ve added 25%.
Memory care costs in Hampton of $5,456 a month fall significantly below the average cost of memory care in the state of Virginia and is less than $100 above the national average. Memory care in Virginia costs on average $6,062 a month, while nationally that figure is $5,375.
Hampton leans towards the lower end of memory care costs in Virginia. Richmond, the state capital, has the lowest cost in the state of $4,556 a month. In the western part of the state, memory care costs in Blacksburg run at $5,000 a month, lower than the Hampton area. From here prices increase. In Staunton, memory care costs $6,063 a month, while in Lynchburg, it is $6,174 a month. Charlottesville, home to the University of Virginia and the birthplace of Thomas Jefferson is $7,366 a month, nearly $2,000 more than Hampton.
Note: Data for Hampton was unavailable, so data for the nearest city, Virginia Beach, was used instead.
