What to Consider About Memory Care in Mayo

Located in Lafayette County at the top of the Florida panhandle, Mayo is a small town with a population of 1,237, including 213 seniors aged 65 and older. In the county, it's estimated that some 160 people in that demographic are living with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia.

Eventually, many of these people may need full-time care from an assisted living facility that is qualified to admit patients with memory impairments. In Florida, these residential treatment centers must receive an Extended Congregate Care (ECC) license from the Agency for Health Care Administration. This organization is responsible for regulating healthcare facilities and providers. Mayo currently has one ECC facility, and five others are located in nearby Gainesville.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Mayo

  • The violent crime rate in Mayo is substantially higher than the U.S. average, as is the rate of property crimes. However, ECCs provide an extra layer of security with self-locking doors, surveillance cameras and 24-hour guards. For peace of mind, you may wish to verify what safety measures are in place at each ECC you're considering.
  • Mayo's weather is pleasantly predictable for northern Florida. While snow doesn't fall here, the town receives 53 inches of rain and 235 days of sunshine. Additionally, high temperatures peak around 92, and lows average around 40. If your loved one is bothered by heat and humidity, you may want to check the facility's resident safety plan or consider another geographic area.
  • The local cost of living is less than the national average at 81.1 versus 100. Housing is far cheaper in Mayo than most of Florida, but healthcare is about even with state and national norms. For most seniors, healthcare costs won't be unexpectedly high or low, which may benefit fixed-income retirees. 
  • Many seniors gravitate to Florida due to its lack of a personal income tax. Additionally, the maximum sales tax is competitive at 7.5 percent. These policies may allow families to set aside more funds for medical care or personal assistance.
