The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Arlington, TX for 2024

The city of Arlington in Texas has a population of 392,786 people, of whom 10.7% are over the age of 65. Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia are common among this age group, with 12 in every 9 seniors being affected. The disease eventually becomes a factor in one third of all senior deaths. Deaths related to Alzheimer’s disease doubled between the years 2000 and 2019, and they’re expected to double again by 2050 without new developments in dementia care. Data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that in Arlington specifically, Alzheimer’s-related deaths rose by 23.94% between 2016 and 2020.

People living with Alzheimer’s can turn to residential memory care to help preserve their quality of life and neurological function. Staff in these homes are specially trained in dementia care and can offer assistance with hygiene, nutrition, personal care and the mental changes that come with Alzheimer’s. Evidence-based interventions such as diet and activities help preserve cognitive health. This guide talks more about memory care in Arlington and the benefits of retirement in the city.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Arlington

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission regulates memory care facilities across the state, including in Arlington, TX. The department website provides information about the license status of individual facilities, including the service type offered by the provider and any violations found during inspections.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Arlington

  • Arlington has a competitive sales tax of 8%, which is only slightly higher than the U.S. average of 7.3%. The city’s income tax rate is 0%, compared to the nationwide average of 4.6%, allowing seniors to keep more of their income.
  • The cost of living in Arlington is rated at 100.8 on a 100-point index, which places the U.S. average at 100. As the state average for Texas is 94.2, expenses such as groceries are slightly more expensive in Arlington but still comparable to costs throughout the country.
  • Arlington has about 235 sunny days per year, compared to the average of 205 nationally. Snow is rare in the city at an average of 1 inch yearly, whereas the U.S. average is 28 inches. Overall, seniors can expect mild weather and comfortable winters, with average temperature lows in January being 12.3‬ degrees higher than the national average of 21.7.
  • Crime rates in Arlington, TX, are somewhat high, measuring 30.7 to the U.S. average of 22.7 for violent crimes and 49.4 compared to 35.4 for property crimes on a 100-point scale.

The region’s top facilities include the Texas Health Heart and Vascular Hospital and Baylor, Scott and White Orthopedic and Spine Hospital.
  • Arlington’s water quality is rated at 90 compared to 55 for most of the country. This ranking is based on the conditions of the region’s watershed — the catchment area for rain and snowmelt. Water that reaches the watershed collects in reservoirs such as lakes or dams before being treated to create drinking water for the community, and a purer source typically results in higher-quality drinking water.
