What to Consider About Memory Care in Conroe

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is responsible for overseeing the licensing and operation of all long-term care facilities throughout the state, including Conroe’s memory care communities. This agency conducts on-site safety code checks and health inspections prior to licensure and every 2 years thereafter to ensure that facilities are compliant with state and federal regulations.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Conroe

  • Seniors in Conroe can enjoy an affordable retirement lifestyle. The city’s cost of living index rating of 95.1 is about 5% below the U.S. national average of 100, largely due to the area’s low housing and transportation costs.
  • Texas is also a very tax-friendly destination for retirees. As there is no state income tax, seniors do not have to pay taxes on any forms of retirement income, including Social Security retirement benefits, pensions, IRAs and 401(k)s.
  • Rates of violent crime in Conroe fall below the U.S. average. Measured on a scale to 100, the city receives a score of 21.8, which is lower than the national average of 22.7. Property crime is a little more frequent in the area, however, most memory care facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art security systems to ensure residents are kept safe. 
  • While Conroe is known for outdoor recreation, the local air quality isn’t very high. The city has an F rating by the American Lung Association in regard to the high number of annual ozone days. Fortunately, memory care communities offer high levels of supervision, so staff can monitor the time residents spend outdoors.
  • Seniors looking to escape cold, snowy winters may enjoy Conroe’s pleasant seasonal weather. Temperatures tend to stay above 40 degrees in the winter months, and snowfall is not common. Summers can get quite hot, with temperatures climbing as high as 93 degrees. The region is also known to experience heavy rainfall due to its proximity to the Texas Gulf Coast.
  • There are several health care facilities in Conroe that seniors can visit in the event of an injury, illness or emergency situation. The city is home to Montgomery County’s primary health care provider, HCA Houston Healthcare Conroe, which specializes in neurological care and offers neurosurgery, critical stroke care and rehabilitation. Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals Conroe also offers a specialized neurology program.
  • Conroe Connection provides reliable transportation services to help seniors get around the city. Seniors aged 65 and older and veterans are eligible for reduced fares on all fixed-route services.
