What to Consider About Memory Care in Sarasota
Florida has one of the largest populations of people with Alzheimer's disease in the country. According to the Alzheimer's Association, 540,000 individuals in the state live with Alzheimer's disease, and the number is expected to rise. Sarasota features a large senior population, with more than 35 percent of its residents aged 65 or older. As a result, some of these seniors may live with dementia and require access to memory care facilities. Fortunately, Sarasota is home to 16 memory care facilities, with another 16 located nearby. These memory care facilities, which fall into the category of assisted living facilities in the state, are licensed and regulated by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs.
- Sarasota's cost of living is higher than the national average. On a scale where 100 represents the U.S. average, Sarasota comes in at 108.8. Housing is the most expensive category in Sarasota. However, memory care facility costs in Sarasota are below average, which can save seniors with dementia some money in an otherwise pricier city.
- Seniors in Sarasota can also enjoy tax savings. Florida does not tax social security income. Seniors and their families may consider putting this money toward memory care facility living expenses.
- Crime is a concern in Sarasota. Violent crime rates are significantly higher than the national average. On a scale where one represents the safest and 100 represents the most dangerous, Sarasota's violent crime rate comes in at 73.5. Property crime rates are also above average, ranking at 68.9. As a result, seniors and their caregivers should consider safety precautions that the memory care facility takes to protect its residents.
