Kingwood is a wooded community in the Houston, TX, area where more than 11% of residents are 65 years of age or older, a demographic for whom dementia care is relevant.

For seniors facing Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive conditions, memory care communities can be a refuge.

Programming that nourishes residents' cognitive abilities is a common feature of memory care communities as well.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Kingwood

Kingwood is one of many villages known as the Kingwood Superneighborhood Area and is part of Houston, Texas, a state where over 380,000 residents have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Seniors living in Kingwood who need residential care for cognitive impairments have five memory care facilities in the city and five more nearby from which to choose.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Kingwood

 

  • Weather along the Gulf Coast, where Kingwood is located, is balmy and warm, although summer highs regularly reach over 90 degrees. Memory care residents with certain health conditions may be uncomfortable outside in the summer. Winters are mild and snow-free, which is comfortable for aging joints. 
  • Texas does not have a state income tax, meaning that income from Social Security, disability benefits and retirement investments are not subject to state income tax. Families helping loved ones pay for memory care may have a bit of extra income to work with. 
  • Kingwood, like all of the Houston area, is ranked as having some of the poorest air quality both for excess ozone and year-round particle pollution by the American Lung Association. Seniors who have respiratory concerns may find their condition aggravated both by the pollution and by short-term waves of air pollution from the oil rigs off the Gulf Coast. 
  • The Kingwood area, as part of the greater Houston metro area, 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.
