What to Consider About Memory Care in Frisco

Assisted living facilities with memory care must pass additional certification and licensing standards through the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) department. This agency is responsible for facility licensing and performs regular and unannounced visits to ensure the Texas rules and regulations for long-term memory care are followed.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Frisco

  • Memory care costs are typically higher than assisted living due to the additional care needed for those with dementia. For this reason, it’s easier financially for seniors who require memory care to live in Texas, which is a retiree tax-friendly state. There’s no tax on Social Security income or withdrawals from retirement accounts and pensions.
  • The Texas retiree tax-friendly policies also bring relief for seniors living in Frisco, considering the city’s high cost of living at 120, compared to the national average of 100 and the Texas state average of 93.9.
  • Frisco offers seniors excellent health care options, including the Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Frisco, an award-winning hospital and a per capita of 228 physicians per 100,000 residents. The national per capita average is 210 per 100,000 people.
  • The weather in Frisco offers mild winters, with the coldest overnight temperatures in January averaging 32.2 degrees. However, the daytime highs in January average between 45 and 70 degrees. Summers can be humid with high temperatures in the upper 90s, making indoor activities more appealing during the hottest months, June, July and August.
  • Frisco promotes outdoor recreation through 49 parks, including natural areas, trail systems, neighborhood parks, and larger community parks. The city, known as dog-friendly, provides a well-appointed dog park. Seniors with dogs who live in memory care and assisted living communities can take their furry friend to the dog park for an outing with family and friends.
