The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Stuart, FL for 2024

As of the 2021 census, it's estimated 27.4% of Stuart's residents are aged 65 and over, which is a significantly higher percentage than in both the state and country as a whole. Due to the large elderly population, the city and its residents should be prepared to face the increasingly common effects of Alzheimer's disease and the need for dementia care. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of deaths attributed to Alzheimer's rose to 158 in 2020. This is an increase of 6.8% since 2016, and makes the disease responsible for 8% of all fatalities in the city.

Seniors diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease are often cared for by family members in the initial stages. However, the need for care can become constant and overwhelming. As a result, those affected may enter a dedicated memory care facility, which provides 24/7 access to caregivers who assist with everyday tasks. This guide has information on the cost of dementia care in Stuart and regional alternatives, and where to go for answers and support services in the city.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Stuart

Stuart, Florida is made up of about 26 percent senior citizens and has an air quality that's much better than the average city in this country. This benefits residents with Alzheimer's disease and other dementia-related conditions who also have breathing difficulties, and it may allow them to spend more time outdoors. Senior citizens who have dementia and related conditions can choose from four memory care facilities in Stuart. These help to care for some of the state’s estimated 540,000 patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Florida has strict standards set for these facilities that all memory care units must comply with. Compliance verification is overseen by the Department of Elder Affairs

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Stuart

  • Residents of Stuart can expect to pay slightly more than people in an average U.S. city for their daily needs. The cost of living index here is 106.4, which the U.S. index is 100. Memory care patients may need to budget carefully for their medical care, as the health index is 103 here.
  • While the violent crime rate of 29.1 in Stuart is lower than the national rate of 31.1, the property crime rate of 54.1 is much higher than the national rate of 38.1. Since memory care patients live in secure units, these points might not make much of a difference to them.
