The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Deerfield Beach, FL for 2024

 

While Alzheimer’s ranks as a leading cause of death in Florida, communities such as Deerfield Beach see a relatively small impact from this disease. Despite the city’s large senior community, which accounts for nearly a quarter of its residents, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows a 5% drop in Alzheimer’s-related deaths in the region between 2016 and 2020. At the beginning of this reporting period, Alzheimer’s caused about 4% of deaths in the region, compared to just over 3% at the end. Additionally, while the number of Alzheimer’s-related deaths declined during this timeframe, the total number of deaths rose by 19%.

Effective dementia care and treatment support an individual’s quality of life after a dementia diagnosis, and for many families, residential memory care is a practical solution for disease-related challenges. These facilities have secured indoor and outdoor areas to reduce wandering, and many incorporate evidence-based programming, brain games and group and one-on-one activities to support cognitive engagement. 

The following guide lists some helpful resources for local families and seniors and highlights memory care costs.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Deerfield Beach

All memory care facilities in Deerfield Beach must obtain licensing through the Agency for Health Care Administration, Bureau of Health Facility Regulation. In addition to complying with standard assisted living requirements for nutrition services, care planning and intake and discharge procedures, facilities that provide dementia care must follow increased regulations for staffing ratios, caregiver training and recreational programming.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Deerfield Beach

 

 

 

  • Most of the crime that occurs in Deerfield Beach is property-related, which may make memory care a preferred alternative to living alone for vulnerable individuals. On a crime index that gives higher scores to communities with more criminal activity, Deerfield Beach scores 23.2 for violent crime and 40.3 for property-related offenses. This exceeds the respective national norms of 22.7 and 35.4.

 

  • The American Lung Association registers short-term particle pollution levels in the Deerfield Beach area as average compared to national norms, giving the region a C for this type of pollution. However, the region has minimal ozone pollution, earning it an A for this metric and supporting the health of memory care residents with cardiovascular or respiratory conditions.

 

  • Deerfield Beach has hot summers, with average daytime temperatures between 86 and 89 degrees Fahrenheit, although they occasionally rise as high as 92 degrees Fahrenheit. The warm season lasts from early June to late September and brings high humidity levels and about 26 inches of rainfall. The cooler season stretches from early December until early March and has comparatively comfortable temperatures of around 76 degrees Fahrenheit. Memory care facilities support residents' safety and minimize the risk of wandering off-site in unfavorable weather through indoor activities and secured outdoor areas.
