The 5 Best Memory Care Facilities in Granbury, TX for 2024

 

Approximately one in three seniors has Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia at the time of their passing. This statistic carries substantial weight in communities such as Granbury, TX, where almost one-third of residents are 65 years old or over. According to CDC data, the city’s dementia-related death toll has seen a worrying increase of 37.84% from 2016 to 2020, slightly surpassing the 35.54% growth rate in the number of overall deaths during the same period. Given the prevalence of the disease, it’s important to look for dementia care options early on.

Memory care communities are designed to manage the signs of Alzheimer’s by providing a structured setting that minimizes stress and disorientation. Equipped with 24/7 specialized care and extensive security measures, these centers help maintain cognitive skills through stimulating activities, such as reminiscence therapy and brain fitness programs, while ensuring individualized attention to meet each resident’s needs.

This guide explores the advantages and drawbacks of choosing Granbury as a retirement destination. It also discusses long-term care costs and local resources that those interested in memory care may find helpful.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Granbury

Texas Health and Human Services licenses and monitors memory care communities, ensuring they meet state standards regarding health and safety precautions, staffing ratios and the overall quality of services provided. For enhanced transparency, residents can access inspection reports and other relevant information about long-term care providers through the HHS online system.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Granbury

 

  • The cost of living in Granbury, although 10.8% higher than the Texas average, is similar to the U.S. norm, with a slight 5% difference. Considered individually, most expenses align with prices across the country; groceries and housing are more affordable, at 2.4% and 0.4% less, respectively, while health care bills exceed the state average by just 5.2%.

 

  • Temperatures in Granbury vary widely from season to season. Summers are hot and humid, averaging 85 degrees Fahrenheit in July, and winter lows hover around 44 degrees Fahrenheit with little snowfall. Extreme weather usually comes in the form of thunderstorms, but potentially more dangerous phenomena, such as hail and damaging winds, are not uncommon. Fortunately, seniors in memory care have access to indoor activities. 

 

  • Granbury residents are close to multiple health care facilities. Within the city, the Lake Granbury Medical Center offers emergency care and cardiology. It also provides neurologic rehabilitation, which helps manage dementia symptoms. About 20 miles north, Medical City Weatherford offers additional services, including orthopedics and breast health.

 

  • Granbury received a passing score for annual ozone pollution levels, indicating optimal air quality. In addition, the area boasts a considerable number of physicians, with 144.81 per 100,000 residents. This is lower than the Texas average of 274.80, however, so seniors may benefit from living in a memory care community with access to 24-hour medical assistance.

 

  • Texas is one of nine states that have no income tax. As a result, pensions, withdrawals from retirement accounts and Social Security benefits are exempt at the state level, which may allow seniors to allocate more funds toward their long-term care fees. However, most residents will still need to pay between 10% and 37% of their regular income in federal taxes.

 

  • Granbury is safer than the average American city when it comes to violent crime, with a score of 16.2 compared to the U.S. norm of 22.7 on a 100-point index. Property crime is significantly higher at 78.6, more than double the national score. Fortunately, seniors considering memory care can be reassured by the presence of advanced security measures typically available in these communities.
