Located along Florida's Gulf Coast, Bradenton is a city of around 56,000 residents, of whom nearly one-quarter are seniors aged 65 and older. The number of Americans impacted by Alzheimer's is growing every year, with the Alzheimer's Association projecting that 12.9 million individuals could be living with dementia by 2050. With such a large senior population, Bradenton is likely to see a large number of its residents affected by these conditions.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Bradenton

The gulf coast city of Bradenton, Florida, has a sizeable senior population of close to 24 percent and some of these seniors have memory impairments like Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease or dementia. There are over 80 memory care facilities in Bradenton to accommodate them.

Many assisted living facilities in Florida possess a specially trained dementia care unit as the state is estimated to have over 500,000 residents with Alzheimer’s or other cognitive impairments. Dementia care programs can be stand-alone or located within shared assisted living facilities, and staff must undergo yearly training and education.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Bradenton

 

  • Excellent weather with a comfort index of 83 out of 100 is one of the major benefits of living in Bradenton. The summer highs are a little hot and humid, around 90 degrees in July. Winter, on the other hand, is nearly ideal with a crisp January low of 51 degrees.
  • Seniors are at risk for many potential health hazards in the environment, including air quality. Those with COPD, diabetes, and other related illnesses can be adversely affected by pollution. The air in Bradenton, however, is clean and carries a low risk. It was given a solid B ozone rating from the American Lung Association.
  • It is about 11 percent more expensive to live in Florida when compared to the national average. However, Bradenton is only 8 percent above the U.S. average, making it cheaper to live here than in many other areas. Seniors and their families may be able to cut costs by living here.
  • The tax situation in Florida is a huge benefit to residents of The Sunshine State. Social security income and pension IRAs are not taxed and there is no marginal state tax. This means finances may stretch farther here, giving seniors the opportunity for better quality care and more money for day-to-day expenses.
