Bay County has three memory care facilities in the cities of Panama City Beach, Bay City and Panama City. In this county, as in the rest of Florida, memory care facilities may have their own dedicated residence, or they may be situated within assisted living facilities that have specialized care staff, training and activities designed for residents with dementia.
