What to Consider About Memory Care in Grand Prairie
Grand Prairie is a thriving suburb in Dallas County, part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, with an over-65 population of 8 percent. More than 12 percent of Dallas County Medicaid beneficiaries have Alzheimer's or dementia, and Grand Prairie has over 50 memory care facilities to care for these folks. Memory care facilities in Grand Prairie require employees to have state-mandated special training. This applies both to those who work in a separate, secure wing of a nursing home or assisted living facility and those at a campus entirely dedicated to caring for those with Alzheimer's and dementia; these facilities are considered Type B nursing care in Texas, a regulation designating facilities where residents need staff assistance in an emergency and require overnight supervision.
- North Texas climate is characterized by long, hot summers and mild winters. Snowfall is rare, which may benefit those with respiratory conditions. Seniors who are especially sensitive to heat may be uncomfortable in the late summer when highs reach the 90s and 100s.
- There is no state income tax in Texas, which may mean extra money for your loved one's memory care facility. Texas does have higher sales and property taxes than many other states; however, those in secure memory care facilities are largely unaffected.
- Grand Prairie's cost of living is slightly higher than the national average. It's considered one of the more affordable suburbs in the Dallas area, which may impact your choice of memory care locations.
- The Grand Prairie area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Methodist Family Health Center - Grand Prairie, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
