The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Cypress, TX for 2023

Cypress is an unincorporated community located in Harris County, Texas, about 25 miles from Houston. Almost 175,000 people live in Cypress, about 10 percent of whom are 65 years or older. Across Texas, there were an estimated 380,000 seniors living with Alzheimer's disease in 2018, and that number was projected to increase to 490,000 by the year 2025. For families in search of a memory care facility for their loved one, the Cypress area offers 70 different options from which to choose. 

The Texas Department of Health and Human Services licenses these memory care facilities as Type B Assisted Living Facilities, meaning that they provide more intensive care than Type A facilities. 

• Summers in Cypress are hot, with high July temperatures in the 90s. Because seniors tend to be more sensitive to heat exposure and may be at higher risk for illnesses caused by overheating, families may want to ensure their loved ones are closely monitored when spending time outdoors.
  
• The Cypress area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as the
  Mischer Neuroscience Institute in nearby Houston, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  
• Cypress has a rate of 15 crimes per 1,000 residents, which is close to the national average and slightly below the Texas state average. In Texas, families who prefer additional peace of mind can install their own security cameras at their selected assisted living facility. 
  
• Cypress has a cost of living that is 18 percent above the Texas state average and 20 percent above the national average, which may leave less room in the family budget to cover memory care services.
