They’re typically located in secured wings of assisted living facilities and have increased requirements related to staffing, staff training and activities programming.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Wesley Chapel

  • Florida doesn’t have a state income tax, so seniors hang onto a larger portion of their Social Security benefits, pension income and withdrawals from retirement savings accounts. This may make memory care expenses in Wesley Chapel feasible for seniors and families with financial limitations.
  • AdventHealth Wesley Chapel is located in the city proper and features a range of primary and specialty care services, as well as a 24-hour emergency department. Health care costs in this city come in a little below national norms, and while there are only 129 doctors per capita, many memory care facilities provide telemedicine services or have visiting physicians who provide routine medical care.
  • Temperatures in Wesley Chapel range from lows of 47 in the winter to highs of 91 in the summer, which is typical of the state. The city gets 53 inches of rain and no snow, and humidity levels tend to be stifling during the summer months. Many memory care facilities have individual climate control in residents’ rooms and organize indoor activities when the weather outside is too hot for comfort.
  • On a 100-point crime index that gives higher ratings to communities with more crime, Wesley Chapel scores 24.5 for violent crime and 46.4 for property crime. By comparison, the nation’s respective scores come in at 22.7 and 35.4. The per capita crime rates are low compared to nearby Dade City and Brooksville. Memory care facilities provide safe environments for vulnerable seniors and typically have security features such as door alarms and surveillance cameras.
  • Wesley Chapel’s overall cost of living is a little higher than state and national norms, primarily because of relatively high housing and transportation costs. On a cost of living index based on a national score of 100, the city rates 105. This is 5% over the national norm and 2 percentage points higher than the state score. To help seniors control monthly expenses, memory care facilities often feature all-inclusive pricing that includes meals and transportation services.
