What to Consider About Memory Care in Pinellas County

Part of the bustling and fast-growing Tampa-St. Petersburg metropolitan area, Pinellas County has a population of nearly a million people, 24 percent of whom are 65 or older. Some of the seniors may be living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia and may be in need of memory care services. There are 35 memory care facilities in Pinellas County for these seniors to choose from. 

As is the case in all of Florida, memory care facilities in Pinellas County must hold an extended congregate care license, which is issued by the Bureau of Health Facility Regulation.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

 

  • The weather in Pinellas County is perfect for seniors who want to escape the cold and don't mind dealing with a little heat to do it. Temperatures in July and August often reach or exceed 90 degrees, while January lows tend to hover in the 50s. The area averages no snow but does get 50 inches of rain each year. However, with Pinellas County's 244 annual sunny days, memory care residents have plenty of time to get outside for supervised recreation.
  • The cost of living in Pinellas County is nine percent higher than the national average. Most of that difference is due to its rising housing costs, which are currently 19 percent above average. Memory care residents will find necessities such as groceries and health care reasonably priced in Pinellas County.
  • Florida does not tax Social Security benefits, retirement income, estates or inheritances, making it one of the most tax-friendly states in the country for seniors. Because of the lack of taxes in Florida, memory care residents have more money to spend on quality care.
  • Pinellas County has a higher-than-average crime rate. Its violent crime rate is 48 out of 100, compared to the U.S. average of 31.1. This is something to consider for safety-conscious memory care residents and their families. Memory care facilities, most of which offer a long list of security features such as guards, cameras and locking exterior doors, are among the safest places to live.
