What to Consider About Memory Care in Sun City Center
Sun City Center, Florida, is an age-restricted (55+) independent retirement community located 30 miles south of Tampa, and it has a population of nearly 20,000 residents. Sun City Center serves its share of Florida's 540,000 seniors with Alzheimer's disease by offering 14 memory care facilities. Memory care facilities in the state of Florida and Sun City Center are classified as Assisted Living Facilities. Each unit must have staff trained by a state-approved instructor in order to serve residents with Alzheimer's or any form of dementia. The Florida Department of Elder Affairs regulates memory care facilities.
- Many seniors choose to live or retire in Florida because of the state's tax cuts. Because Social Security is exempt from taxation in Sun City Center, families choosing memory care in the area can spend money on facility costs rather than taxes.
-
Temperatures in Sun City Center typically range between 50 and 90 degrees. Because the area never gets cold enough, Sun City Center averages zero inches of snow and offers seniors almost constant sunshine and mild winters.
