What to Consider About Memory Care in Margate

Memory care communities in Margate obtain licensing and support through the  Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, which provides oversight and sets minimum operating standards. This department publishes rules related to minimum staffing and staff training requirements, dementia-specific services and the scope of care facilities must provide. It also investigates reports of abuse or neglect.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Margate

 

  • Margate’s summers bring hot, muggy conditions with daytime highs between 87 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. This season, which lasts from late May through late September, has cloudy skies about 67% of the time and an average of 83 days with precipitation. The winters have milder conditions, however, with minimal noticeable humidity and daytime temperatures between 75 and 78 degrees, accommodating memory care residents who enjoy therapeutic outdoor activities.  

 

  • Compared to the rest of Florida, Broward County, where Margate sits, ranks in the 50-75th percentile for health factors and 75-100th percentile for health outcomes, and it comes in 13th place out of 67 counties for general health. The average life expectancy in this community outshines state and national norms at 80.9 years, and the county has one physician per 1,340 residents, along with one non-physician primary care provider per 710 residents, promoting prompt access to dementia-informed medical care.

 

 

  • Crime occurs less frequently in Margate than in 52% of Florida cities and 43% of cities nationwide, with the city reporting about one violent crime and ten property-related offenses per 1,000 people each year. Additionally, the crime rate runs noticeably lower than other cities with comparable population sizes, which may make the city a viable option for those who prioritize safety in their search for memory care.

 

  • Since Florida doesn’t have its own state income tax, seniors hold on to more of their retirement income than in most other states. This, along with the sales tax exemption for food and medications, may make Margate an economical option for those seeking memory care services.
