Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Miami Dade County

 

  • Despite the large population and relentless traffic, Miami-Dade has good air quality, according to the American Lung Association. The county received two B scores, one for ozone pollution and one for particle pollution. Seniors with lung or C/V disease might get some relief by being in an area with clean air.
  • Miami-Dade County is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as Baptist Hospital of Miami and Coral Gables Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Because Florida does not have an income tax, families will see some extra money in their budgets for their senior relatives in an ECC facility.
  • Due to its coastal location, Miami-Dade county averages 59 inches of rain per year, which is far above the U.S. average of 39. There are 248 sunny days per year in Miami, while the nation has only 205. Temperatures are pleasant year-round with summer highs of 90 and winter lows only 30 degrees less at 60. The county has a very high Sperling's Comfort Index of 93, only seven points off the perfect score of 100. Seniors with joint pain might find the climate to their liking.
