What to Consider About Memory Care in Rockwall

This department requires facilities to provide a defined scope of care and follow staffing, housing and nutrition standards. It monitors compliance through regular inspections.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Rockwall

  • Memory care residents in Rockwall have access to two major hospitals, which provide primary, specialty and emergency care. Baylor Scott & White Emergency Hospital offers a full range of emergency and urgent care services, along with diagnostic services, such as CT scans, complete blood cell counts and radiology. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Rockwall houses a robust neurosciences program with board-certified physicians who diagnose and treat memory-related disorders.
  • Rockwall’s cost of living exceeds the Texas average by 21% and the nationwide score by 14%, making local memory care impractical for some seniors. To help qualified individuals access necessary care, the state funds the STAR+PLUS waiver program, which covers memory care costs in approved facilities.
  • Because it sits in one of the few states without an income tax, Rockwall offers a retirement-friendly destination for those seeking memory care. To make up for lost revenue, Texas’s sales and property taxes are among the highest in the nation. Fortunately, seniors with dementia can avoid property taxes by transitioning to residential memory care, and the state exempts prescription and over-the-counter medications from sales tax.
  • Rockwall scores 57 points on the AARP Livability Index, putting it nine points above the average U.S. city score and marking it as a favorable place for seniors, including those with dementia. The city has a low preventable hospitalization rate of 34.8 per 1,000 patients, compared to the national rate of 38.2, and 72% of patients report satisfaction with their care compared to 69% nationwide.
  • Summers in Rockwall bring hot, oppressive conditions, with daytime temperatures ranging from 88 to 96 degrees Fahrenheit and muggy conditions over 90% of the time. Winters are more comfortable with daytime temperatures between 56 and 64 degrees Fahrenheit, and residents rarely experience measurable snowfall. To keep residents comfortable and safe in hot weather, memory care communities typically provide indoor recreation and 24-hour beverage stations.
