What to Consider About Memory Care in Martin County

Martin County is south of Vero Beach on the Atlantic side of the Florida Panhandle. The population of the county is 159,923, and around 50,000 residents are 65 or older with an estimated 5,000 seniors living with dementia. The Alzheimer's Association is projecting that the number of Florida residents with some form of cognitive impairment will leap from 540,000 to 720,000 by 2025.

Extended congregate care (ECC) facilities that specifically treat Alzheimer's patients are licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, and the staff receives special training. Two ECCs are in Stuart, and one is in Jensen Beach.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Based on a scale with one being the safest area and 100 being least safe, Martin County's violent crime rate is 35.6, four points higher than the U.S. average of 31.1. The national average for property crime is 38.1, while Martin County's is two points lower at 36.6. Even with such a safe location, families might want to ask about security measures that an ECC has taken to protect the residents.
  • Florida citizens do not pay state income tax, so retirement pensions and Social Security payments are tax-free. This cash surplus can be used for healthcare expenses at an ECC.
  • With 100 as the overall national median expense, the cost of living rating for Martin County is 114.3, with housing being the highest at 142, and healthcare a few points above median at 103. This is definitely something for families to consider before moving to Martin County.
  • Martin County receives 59 inches of rainfall per year, which is 20 inches more than the U.S. average of 39. Martin County has 238 sunny days per year, and the national average is 205. Seniors with painful joints or respiratory disease may benefit from the mild climate, where winter lows only drop to 55 degrees, and summer highs top out at 90. Martin County receives an 84 out of 100 in Sperling's Comfort Index.
