24 Memory Care Facilities near Deltona, FL

Deltona is a midsized suburban community with a population of 90,746, including 14,519 residents over 65.

More than 500,000 Floridians are affected, including 16,133 in Volusia County and about 3.1 percent of Deltona's population.

Residents who have dementia and require 24-hour care can be admitted to an assisted living facility that has a extended congregate care (ECC) license.

Deltona is home to one memory care facility, and an additional 50 communities are located in the surrounding area.

• Florida's lack of individual income tax can increase the affordability of memory care and medical services. Ordinary income and retirement benefits from Social Security, IRAs, 401(k)s and public or private pensions aren't taxed by the state, which can save seniors several thousand dollars annually.
• Delton's moderate cost of living can help fixed-income seniors stretch their budgets. The community is 13 percent more affordable than other parts of Florida and 2 percent more affordable than the national average. In particular, seniors benefit from the competitive housing prices as well as the reasonable health care costs, which are 5 percent lower than the U.S. average.
• Mild weather also attracts seniors to the area. Deltona has a Sperling's Comfort Index of 80 compared to the U.S. average of 54. Although January lows hover around 47 degrees, July highs typically exceed 90 degrees. The area also experiences strong storms and hurricanes, so memory care facilities must have backup power and evacuation plans to protect residents.
• The Orlando-Deltona-Daytona Beach area is the nation's 25th cleanest region based on its low year-round particulate levels. In general, seniors are more susceptible to pollutants. Even adults with asthma, COPD and respiratory illnesses can benefit from the city's excellent air quality, which is unlikely to exacerbate their symptoms.
