What to Consider About Memory Care in Lake Worth Beach

Memory care facilities in Lake Worth Beach are officially licensed as assisted living facilities by the Agency for Health Care Administration, Bureau of Health Facility Regulation. In addition to following standardized rules related to care planning, staffing and nutrition services, they must meet requirements for building features, staffing and staff training.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Lake Worth Beach

  • There’s no state income tax in Florida, so seniors in Lake Worth Beach only pay federal income taxes on their retirement income and benefits. This may help some seniors afford memory care expenses in the Lake Worth Beach region.
  • There are no hospitals in Lake Worth Beach, but there are several hospitals within a 10-mile radius, including HCA Florida JFK Hospital in Atlantis and Bethesda Hospital in Boynton Beach. This may promote access to care for seniors managing chronic conditions, such as Alzheimer’s.
  • As is typical of the region, Lake Worth Beach has a tropical climate with comfortable winters and warm summers. Year-round temperatures range from 64 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit, which is comparable to temperatures in the rest of Florida. To help seniors stay active and comfortable year-round, memory care facilities in the region often have amenities such as swimming pools and individual climate controls.
  • The air quality in the Lake Worth Beach area is exceptional and may support the health of seniors in local memory care facilities, particularly those with lung or heart conditions. The American Lung Association gives Palm Beach County the highest grades possible for all three metrics it measures, including ozone pollution, annual particle pollution and 24-hour particle pollution.
  • Seniors and families in the Lake Worth Beach area have access to services and support through the Southeast Florida chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. Through this organization, individuals can connect with support groups, early-stage engagement activities and options counselors. This may help them make informed decisions regarding long-term dementia care.
