What to Consider About Memory Care in Tallahassee
Tallahassee is the capital of Florida, a state where about 520,000 individuals live with Alzheimer's disease, according to the Florida Department of Elder Affairs. Seniors living in Tallahassee have access to nine memory care facilities, which are known as Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) and licensed to operate by the Department of Elder Affairs. Residential facilities that welcome patients with Alzheimer's disease and other memory disorders are subject to additional regulation and must undergo Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Training approved by the University of South Florida's Training Academy on Aging.
- Tallahassee's cost of living is on par with the national average; however, healthcare costs are higher than average. Grocery and housing costs rank below the national average, helping to balance overall expenses for seniors living in the area. Additionally, memory care facility costs in Tallahassee are lower than average, which can provide some savings as well.
- Crime is a concern in Tallahassee. Both violent crime and property crime rates are significantly higher than the national average. The violent crime rate is 75.6, where 1 equals low crime and 100 equals high crime. As a result, seniors will want to find a memory care facility equipped with security cameras and other safety features.
- Florida seniors do not have to pay taxes on their social security income. This benefit leaves some extra money in the budget to cover memory care facility expenses in Tallahassee.
- Tallahassee is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare, in the event of medical emergencies or illness. The hospital is home to a Memory Disorder Clinic that is funded by a grant distributed by Florida's Department of Elder Affairs. This clinic offers support groups, an educational library and referrals to other providers.
