What to Consider About Memory Care in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale, a beautiful, diverse coastal community with scenic beaches, is home to just over 180,000 residents, more than 16 percent of whom are age 65 or older. It is estimated that 12 percent of seniors in the state of Florida has some form of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. To help serve these seniors' needs, the Fort Lauderdale area offers more than 20 different memory care facilities.

In Fort Lauderdale and throughout the state of Florida, memory care facilities fall under the umbrella of assisted living facilities. Facilities specializing in memory care must provide a safe, secure environment for all residents. Staff who work in memory care facilities are required to have specialized training related to dementia and larger facilities must have at least one staff member awake and on call at all times.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Fort Lauderdale

 

  • Fort Lauderdale's warm, sunshiny climate attracts residents and visitors alike. The city receives an average of 246 days of sunshine in a year and has an average January low temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind, however, that the city's location also means that it has an increased risk of sustaining damage from hurricanes.  
     
  • The cost of living in Fort Lauderdale is almost 30 percent higher than the national average. The city's overall living costs are also 19 percent higher than the Florida state average. 
     
  • Fort Lauderdale's crime rates are higher than both national and state averages. This is the case for both violent and personal property crimes. To compare, 97 percent of cities in Florida have lower crime rates than Fort Lauderdale. 
     
  • The Fort Lauderdale area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as The Department of Neurology at The Pauline Braathen Neurological Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
