Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Waxahachie

 

  • Because there’s no state income tax in Texas, Waxahachie seniors may be able to put a higher portion of their retirement income toward memory care expenses. The state has some of the highest property and sales tax rates in the nation, but opting for residential care may reduce seniors’ living expenses.

Though housing costs come in about 12% below the nationwide average and groceries cost 5% less here than in other U.S. cities, residents spend about 14% more on utilities than in other communities. Fortunately, many memory care communities offer all-inclusive pricing, helping seniors and families budget for monthly expenses.

 

  • The crime rate in Waxahachie is high compared to all U.S. and Texas cities, but it aligns with crime rates in similarly sized communities across the nation. Although residents have an above-average risk of becoming victims of violent or property-related crimes, memory care communities promote residents’ safety through security gates, monitored entry points and alarm systems.

 

  • Waxahachie is home to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Waxahachie, a 300,000-square-foot not-for-profit hospital that offers inpatient, outpatient and emergency services along with a range of community initiatives. The hospital has a multidisciplinary neuroscience team that diagnoses and treats Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, and it can connect individuals to clinical trials.
