What to Consider About Memory Care in Denton

Alzheimer’s and dementia care facilities in Texas are regulated by the Texas Department of Health and Senior Services. The department issues licenses and inspects facilities to ensure they meet the necessary health and safety requirements in order to continue providing memory care in Texas.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Denton

  • Seniors needing medical care are well served, as Denton is close to several health care facilities, including Denton Community Hospital, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital and Mayhill Hospital. The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, which specializes in brain health and dementia care, is also located in the city.
  • The weather in Denton is relatively hot during the summer months, with temperatures averaging 96 degrees. However, the rest of the year is fairly comfortable, with temperatures averaging 70 to 80 degrees. Because there is no major snowfall during the year, seniors don’t have to worry about trying to navigate unsafe sidewalks.
  • Denton has a far lower crime rate than neighboring communities, with fewer than two violent events per 1,000 residents reported each year. Concerned family members should know that memory care facilities often have security systems in place as well as staff on-site 24/7 to ensure their loved ones’ safety.
  • Because Texas has no state income tax, individuals considering memory care may have extra funds to spend. The state’s higher-than-average property and sales taxes often have no impact on memory care residents. 
  • Memory care facilities in Denton often have a van or small bus to transport seniors to and from medical appointments, with one-way commutes taking around 24 minutes. Scheduled transportation services are usually included in the upfront memory care costs, but some facilities may charge an additional fee.

Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Denton
