What to Consider About Memory Care in Boynton Beach

Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration’s Bureau of Health Facility Regulation is responsible for the licensing and regulation of all long-term care facilities in the state, including memory care communities. Facilities in Boynton Beach must pass an inspection prior to licensure, followed by subsequent inspections every two years to ensure they are following the established state and federal regulations.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Boynton Beach

  • One of the area’s most desirable features is its sunny, year-round climate. Seniors can look forward to snow-free winters with temperatures above 57 degrees. Summer temperatures can reach 90 degrees, which is quite typical for Florida. While the area can see stormy weather during hurricane season, it still offers 230 days of sunshine each year.
  • Seniors may notice that living costs are high in Boynton Beach compared to other Florida cities. Compared to the U.S. average of 100, the city’s cost of living index rating is 110.4, which is about 7% higher than the state median of 103.1. This is largely due to the city’s housing, transportation and grocery costs.
  • Fortunately, the state’s senior-friendly tax policies may help offset these costs. Florida has no state income tax, so all forms of retirement income, including pensions, Social Security benefits, IRAs and 401(k)s, are exempt from taxation. There is also no estate tax or inheritance tax in the state.
  • Crime rates in Boynton Beach are quite high. On a scale from 1 to 100, the city scores an index rating of 38 for violent crime, which is higher than the U.S. average of 22.7. In terms of property-based offenses, Boynton Beach receives a rating of 60, which is significantly higher than the national median of 35.4. Seniors living in memory care facilities can have peace of mind knowing that the communities are generally outfitted with enhanced security features and follow strict safety precautions.
  • Boynton Beach has plenty of resources to serve seniors’ health needs. The city has 254 physicians per 100,000 residents, which is higher than the U.S. average of 210. In the event of illness or injury, seniors have access to both Bethesda Hospital West and Bethesda Hospital East, which was named as one of the top 100 hospitals in America for its specialty care.
