What to Consider About Memory Care in Georgetown

Texas Health and Human Services monitors memory care communities in Georgetown and enforces minimum standards for housing, staffing and the scope of services facilities must provide. It typically licenses memory care facilities as Type B assisted living facilities, meaning residents require nighttime attendance and evacuation assistance in an emergency.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Georgetown

  • Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, which may make memory care in Georgetown financially viable for some seniors. Local property and sales taxes come in above national norms, but opting for residential care may help seniors reduce the impact of these living costs.
  • St. David’s Georgetown Hospital sits in the city proper and has 114 patient beds, as well as a limited range of primary and specialty care services. Additionally, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Round Rock is about 5 miles away and features the NeuroHealth Institute, which has doctors who specialize in treating Alzheimer’s and related conditions. 
  • Georgetown experiences hot, humid summers but short, mild winters, with year-round high temperatures ranging from 60 to 96 degrees Fahrenheit. The hot season spans early June to mid-September, while the cool season lasts from late November until late February. Fortunately, many memory care facilities offer secured courtyards, letting residents enjoy the weather while reducing the risk of off-site wandering.
  • The overall cost of living in Georgetown comes in at about 3% lower than national norms, with housing, utilities and groceries costing less here than in a typical U.S. city. Additionally, many memory care facilities in this city have fixed monthly rates, further maximizing affordability.
  • Crime is relatively low in Georgetown, fostering the safe environment many seniors and families are seeking. On a 100-point index, the city rates 8.6 for violent crime and 20.1 for property crime, well below the national respective norms of 22.7 and 35.4.
