What to Consider About Memory Care in Altamonte Springs

In Altamonte Springs, as well as the rest of Florida, memory care agencies follow the Florida Agency for HealthCare Administration’s rules for licensing.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Altamonte Springs

  • The cost of living in Altamonte Springs is 2% lower than the national norm, which may help seniors’ retirement income stretch further. In general, housing costs are 21% lower than the national norm and utilities cost 7% less here than in a typical U.S. city, which may drive down the cost of residential memory care for those with dementia.
  • AdventHealth Altamonte Springs administers a range of services to seniors in the Altamonte Springs region, promoting the health of those living with dementia. The hospital specializes in neurology and senior care and offers preventative services, such as memory screenings and geriatric medicine evaluations. It also assists seniors with obtaining Medicare, durable medical equipment loans and skilled nursing services.
  • Because Florida doesn’t impose an income tax, seniors may have an easier time affording memory care services in Altamonte Springs. Older adults only pay federal taxes on their retirement income, regardless of where they moved from or their income level.
  • Altamonte Springs’ exceptional air quality may make the city an attractive option for those seeking residential memory care services in Central Florida. The American Lung Association assigns Seminole County, where Altamonte Springs is situated, the highest grades possible across the three metrics it measures, including ozone, 24-hour particle and annual particle pollution.
  • Over the course of the year, temperatures in Altamonte Springs range from 51 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and they rarely exceed 94 degrees Fahrenheit or dip below 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Summers tend to be muggy, causing many memory care facilities to rely on indoor activities to keep residents engaged, but winters are mild and comfortable.
