What to Consider About Memory Care in Plano

Memory care is regulated by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services in Plano and the rest of the state. This government body maintains a searchable list of long-term care facilities detailing whether a facility has Alzheimer’s certification and documenting any inspection violations or enforcement actions.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Plano

  • The Medical City Plano Hospital and Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Plano make emergency care and medical treatment in the city highly accessible. Seniors can also benefit from specialized surgical hospitals such as the Legent Hospital and numerous clinics and dentists operating in the local area.
  • Plano’s climate is fairly comfortable throughout the year, and seniors living in the city can enjoy around 229 sunny days — slightly higher than the national average of 205. The region typically only sees 1.5 inches of snow a year, but temperatures in January (32.5 degrees) tend to be colder than in other Texan cities, and summer is typically warmer (93.6 degrees) than in other states.
  • The cost of living in Plano is higher at 109.1 on a 100-point scale than the state average of 94.2 and the national average of 100. However, much of this high cost is attributable to housing, with health, groceries and accommodation only slightly more expensive than the state and national median.
  • Violent crimes are infrequent in Plano, ranking at 13 on a 100-point scale, compared to 22.7 nationwide. Property crimes are rated at 29.6, which is closer to the national average of 35.4. Overall, the region may provide a safer place for seniors to live.
  • Sales tax in Plano is 8.25%, which is higher than the national average of 7.3% and may make groceries slightly more expensive. However, Texas’s personal income tax rate is 0%, making it possible to offset the higher sales tax for seniors moving to Plano from other states.
  • Plano has a respiratory illness risk of 38.8, compared to 37.2 for all of Texas and 38.5 nationwide. This rating signifies that the air quality is comparable to most areas of the United States. While Plano is a large city, it generally has better air quality and a lower risk of respiratory illness for seniors compared to other densely populated locations, such as the Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington Metropolitan Area.
