Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Jupiter

  • There are six hospitals in the Jupiter area. The most conveniently located hospital is also the most recognized. Jupiter Medical Center has consistently ranked in the top 10% of hospitals for patient quality and satisfaction, specializing in orthopedics and spine care, cancer care and oncology, neuroscience and stroke care, and cardiac and vascular care. Nearby, Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center also provides full-spectrum care and runs the Primary Stroke Center. 
  • Jupiter has a balmy, tropical climate with humid summers and warm winters. The area receives 62 inches of rainfall every year, well above the U.S. average of 38 inches. However, with sunny days averaging 235 days per year and zero snow accumulation, residents rarely complain about the weather. 
  • Crime in Jupiter is lower than the national average. On a scale of 1 to 100, property crime scored 29.2, lower than the national average of 35.4. On the same scale, violent crime was listed as 16.7, while the U.S. average is 22.7. 
  • The cost of living in Jupiter is higher than other areas in the country. On a scale of 1 to 100, Jupiter scored 127.2, according to the cost of living index created by BestPlaces. Home prices contribute heavily to Jupiter’s score, with utility costs coming in below average. Despite the higher cost of living, residents are drawn to Jupiter’s warm climate and nearby beaches. 
  • In 2019, Florida joined the AARP age-friendly network. This decision brought together agencies such as the Department of Elder Affairs and the Florida Department of Transportation that benefit seniors. Membership in the AARP age-friendly network signifies a commitment by elected officials to make Florida a great place to live for all residents.
