With more than 39,000 probable Alzheimer's disease cases in Broward County, there's growing demand for memory care services in Coral Springs.

Dementia patients and their loved ones can choose from more than a dozen memory care facilities in the area.

• Coral Springs' fine weather and mild climate is one reason why the area is so popular among seniors. The community has received an outstanding comfort score of 88 out of 100.  Despite the pleasant weather, it's wise for relatives to look for memory care facilities that have adequate climate controls and backup power sources to protect residents from the summer heat and humidity.
• Florida is one of the nation's 10 most tax-friendly states for retirees according to Kiplinger. It does not have state-level income tax, so residents can keep more of their retirement benefits from Social Security, 401(k) accounts and IRAs to use for health care and other essentials. On average, the combined state and local sales tax is around 6.8 percent, which also benefits those who live on a fixed income.

Slightly lower utility rates and health care expenditures are advantageous for local seniors. However, housing and transportation costs are moderately higher than other cities in Florida and the rest of the U.S.
