The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Winter Springs, FL for 2024

Winter Springs has a large senior community that accounts for a fifth of its 39,000 residents, supporting the need for dementia care and treatment options. The Alzheimer’s Association predicts a 24% increase in the number of Alzheimer’s diagnoses over the next few years, but fortunately, not all communities see the same degree of impact from this disease. In the Winter Springs region, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports an increase of less than 1% in the number of Alzheimer’s-related deaths between 2016 and 2020. This comes in well below the 17% increase in the total number of deaths. 

While curative treatment for Alzheimer’s doesn’t exist, seniors may enjoy an improved quality of life through residential memory care. This long-term care option features dementia-informed social and recreational activities, dining programs and care services in fully secured environments.

This guide includes details on memory care costs in Winter Springs and outlines financial assistance options seniors may have for covering services. It also lists some helpful resources, including early-stage engagement activities and support groups, available to local seniors and families.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Winter Springs

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration oversees memory care communities in Florida, including all facilities in Winter Springs. These facilities comply with the agency’s standard guidelines for nutrition and medication services, staff background checks and care planning, along with dementia-specific rules for staffing ratios, caregiver training and activities programming.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Winter Springs

  • Winter Springs doesn’t have a hospital, but Oviedo Medical Center and Orlando Health South Seminole Hospital sit within 5 miles of the city. These hospitals provide primary and specialty services, as well as referrals for dementia care. In addition to this, many memory care facilities have on-call physicians who oversee routine medical care.
  • Winter Springs’ air quality is exceptional, earning the region the highest marks available across the American Lung Association’s three categories, which include ozone, 24-hour particle and annual particle pollution. This may support the health of seniors, who may be more vulnerable to complications related to environmental irritants.
  • Seniors in Winter Springs only pay federal taxes on their retirement income due to Florida’s lack of state income taxes. This may help some seniors afford residential memory care costs.
  • Year-round temperatures in Winter Springs range from lows of 51 degrees Fahrenheit in January to highs of 91 degrees Fahrenheit in July, although they may dip as low as 38 degrees Fahrenheit or rise up to 94 degrees Fahrenheit some years. To promote residents’ comfort, many memory care facilities have unit-controlled thermostats and encourage residents to participate in indoor activities when the weather is uncomfortably hot.
  • The overall cost of living in Winter Springs runs higher than state and national averages, which may be a consideration for some seniors and families researching local memory care options. On a 100-point scale based on living costs nationwide, the city scores 105.7, exceeding the state norm by a couple of points. Fortunately, the state-funded Medicaid Long-term Care Waiver can help qualified seniors pay for local memory care expenses.
