What to Consider About Memory Care in Harris County

Harris County encompasses much of the Houston metropolitan area and is one of the most populous areas in Texas. In the state, about 380,000 residents have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia; out of Harris County's population of 4.5 million11.4 percent have a memory care condition and will likely need care in one of the county's 1300 memory care facilities. 

The state of Texas's Department of Health and Human Services regulates memory care facilities, stipulating certain training for all staff and setting licensing requirements. These can include assisted living communities with a secure wing for memory care residents designed to allow aging in place, or facilities completely dedicated to Alzheimer's care. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Weather in south Texas, including Harris County, is sunny and warm throughout much of the year, although summer highs regularly reach over 90 degrees. Mild winters with no snow may bring relief for those with conditions aggravated by cold weather. Memory care residents sensitive to high heat may be uncomfortable, however. 
  • Texas does not have a state income tax, so seniors get to keep all monies from Social Security benefits and retirement accounts. Therefore, families helping loved ones afford memory care may have a bit of extra income to work with. 
  • The overall cost of living in Harris County is slightly higher than the national average; however, Harris County includes some of the state's more expensive neighborhoods. Families on a budget may want to look at individual towns, as higher housing costs may increase operating costs for memory care facilities, and thus the fees for residents. 
  • Harris County is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Houston Methodist Health Center and Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
