Nestled on a scenic island near the Gulf of Mexico, Galveston offers a warm Texas climate and cool shoreline breezes, making it an ideal retirement spot for seniors who want sunny weather. Although only 13.1% of Texas residents and 16.8% of the national population are aged 65 and over, 18.9% of Galveston's 53,089 residents fall into this age group. Local seniors have easy access to health care, as UTMB Health has two campuses in the city, including the Jennie Sealy Hospital, which specializes in acute care for elders. Seniors who need a bit of assistance with day-to-day activities can expect to pay roughly $4,576 per month for in-home care. Home health care is also available for those who have medical needs or issues.
