Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Ruskin

  • Ruskin is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as St. Joseph's Hospital - SouthSouth Bay Hospital is just a few miles away in the event of a medical emergency or illness.
  • Families and seniors who appreciate nice weather enjoy the comfortable climate in Ruskin that has no snowfall, summer high temperatures of 91 degrees and winter lows of 51. The average U.S. city has 205 sunny days while Ruskin has 244. Average yearly rainfall is only 13 inches more than the national average, at 52 and 39 inches respectively. These benchmarks earn Ruskin a Sperling's Comfort Index of 80 out of a possible 100, which is 26 points higher than the U.S. average index.
  • Crime rankings are measured from one for lowest to 100 for highest crime rates. Ruskin's 45.7 violent crime rank is 14 points higher than the U.S. average of 31.1, and its 43.4 property crime rank is only five points higher than the national average of 38.1. Memory care facilities often have an added layer of protection with security systems and personnel.
