What to Consider About Memory Care in Travis County

Travis County centers around the capital of Texas, Austin. Texas is a state with over 380,000 of its residents diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or another memory condition. In Travis County itself, 11.4 percent of a population of 1.2 million are affected with dementia or Alzheimer's. These diseases are especially prevalent in the 65 and older demographic. To care for these folks, Travis County has memory care facilities, both secure wings of assisted living campuses and separate, stand-alone memory care homes. 

The Texas Department of Health and Human Services regulates and licenses memory care facilities. These are considered "Type B," a designation that indicates the need for staff assistance of residents in an emergency and overnight supervision needs. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Travis County is located in central Texas, an area with weather characterized by long, hot summers with highs in the 90s and mild winters with rare snow. January lows rarely drop below the mid-30s. Seniors in memory care who have health conditions alleviated by warmer weather may find relief here, but the stifling summer heat may be uncomfortable for others. 
  • There is no state income tax in Texas, including income from Social Security benefits and retirement accounts. Families budgeting for a loved one's memory care may appreciate the extra money. 
  • The cost of living in Travis County is about 25 percent higher than the national average. The high cost of housing, at close to double the rest of the country, accounts for this. High housing costs may increase operating costs for memory care facilities. Families considering relocating to the Austin area for a loved one's memory care may want to look more closely at individual suburbs if they have a tight budget. 
  • Travis County, as part of the greater Austin metro area, is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Seton Healthcare and St. David's Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
