What to Consider About Memory Care in Greenacres

In Greenacres, memory care facilities are licensed as assisted living facilities, and they’re governed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, Bureau of Health Facility Regulation. This department enforces minimum guidelines related to care planning, nutrition services and scope of care, along with additional dementia-specific rules related to safety, staffing and staff training.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Greenacres

 

  • Florida doesn’t have a state income tax, which may help seniors’ retirement income stretch to cover memory care expenses in Greenacres. The state also has no inheritance or estate tax, further promoting seniors’ financial security.
  • The American Lung Association gives Palm Beach County, where Greenacres is located, the highest marks across all types of pollution that it measures, indicating exceptional air quality. This may make the city a good option for older adults managing certain health conditions that are exacerbated by environmental irritants.
  • The cost of living in Greenacres is comparable to state and national norms, offering a moderate level of affordability for retirees. On a 100-point scale based on national living costs across over half a dozen metrics, the city scores 101.3 versus the state norm of 103.1. While this may be prohibitive for some seniors, the state funds the Long-Term Care Program to help qualified individuals pay for memory care.
  • On a 100-point crime index, Greenacres scores 30.9 for violent crime and 45.5 for property-related offenses. This is a little higher than the national respective scores of 22.7 and 35.4. This may make residential memory care a preferred alternative to living alone for seniors who may be vulnerable.
  • The weather in Greenacres is warm year-round, with average daytime highs ranging from 74 degrees in the winter to 90 degrees in the summer. Humidity levels are stifling throughout the summer months, and the city gets about 62 inches of rain. While this heat may be dangerous for some seniors, memory care facilities feature amenities such as individual climate control to keep residents safe and comfortable.
