In Cedar Park, Alzheimer's diagnoses have become increasingly common among the city's senior community, which accounts for about a tenth of the 78,000 residents, creating the need for dementia care solutions.

During this time frame, the number of Alzheimer's deaths increased by 49.2%, driving the 40.7% increase in the total number of deaths in the county.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Cedar Park

 

Texas Health and Human Services licenses and monitors all memory care facilities in Cedar Park and the rest of the state. This department publishes information on staff training requirements, residents’ rights and minimum licensing standards, and it conducts regular site inspections to ensure consistent care quality. It also maintains a list of all licensed memory care facilities in the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Cedar Park

  • Texas’s lack of state income taxes means seniors don’t pay taxes at the state level on any form of retirement income, regardless of where they lived before relocating to Cedar Park. Additionally, while property taxes are higher here than in most other states, choosing residential memory care over living alone may reduce their financial impact.
  • Cedar Park has two hospitals, including Baylor Scott & White Clinic – Cedar Park and Cedar Park Regional Medical Center, giving residents access to a diverse range of medical and wellness services. While neither hospital provides dementia services, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Round Rock sits just 8 miles away and houses the NeuroHealth Institute, which provides specialized Alzheimer’s diagnostic and treatment services.
  • Cedar Park’s warm weather makes the city a favorable option for older adults sensitive to cold temperatures. The city’s warm season lasts from early June through mid-September and brings daytime temperatures ranging between 88 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit, although temperatures occasionally rise as high as 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool season has daytime temperatures between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit. To help residents stay comfortable, many memory care facilities have individually controlled thermostats in residents’ rooms.
  • The overall cost of living in Cedar Park comes in slightly higher than the national norm, surpassing the U.S. average by 1%. Groceries and utilities tend to cost less here than in a typical U.S. city, but housing costs exceed average prices. Fortunately, opting for residential memory care often lets seniors enjoy all-inclusive pricing, making it easier to plan and control monthly expenses.
  • Criminal activity occurs less often in Cedar Park than in a typical U.S. city, providing peace of mind for families with loved ones in local memory care facilities. Property-related offenses occur more often, earning the city a rating of 23.2 on a 100-point scale, compared to the violent crime score of 12.7. Both of these ratings fall well below the respective national norms of 35.4 and 22.7.
