What to Consider About Memory Care in Dallas
In Dallas, as well as in the rest of Texas, memory care facilities are officially licensed as Type B assisted living facilities, and they’re governed by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services. This department provides information on residents’ rights, performs regular and unannounced inspections and conducts background checks on prospective employees to ensure a high standard of care.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Dallas
- Dallas has an overall cost of living that’s slightly higher than the national median and 7% higher than the state rate, which may be a consideration for those with limited budgets. Housing and local transportation-related costs are high, but seniors may minimize these expenses by transitioning to residential care.
- Crime is prevalent in Dallas compared to the typical U.S. city, which may make memory care a preferred alternative to living alone. On a 100-point crime index, the city scores 37 for violent crime and 50.7 for property crime, compared to national ratings of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively.
- Dallas is one of the warmest cities in Texas with summer high temperatures in the mid-90s and winter highs in the mid-50s, and humidity levels are high during the warm months. The city gets very little snow and about 39 inches of rain, and the sun shines 234 days per year on average, compared to 205 nationally. To keep residents comfortable throughout the year, memory care facilities in Dallas have inside activities and individual climate control in residents’ rooms.
- Health care costs in Dallas are about 5% cheaper than the national average, which may leave more money in the budget for long-term care services. The city is home to UT Southwestern Medical Center, which is nationally ranked in nine specialties, including geriatrics.
- Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, which may enable seniors and families in Dallas to put more money toward memory care expenses.
- Dallas is a member of the AARP Age-Friendly Network, meaning that its officials have dedicated resources to making the city a comfortable place for all residents. The city has a livability index score of 55 for factors, such as safe public transportation options, civic involvement and access to health care.
