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

Grapevine is a large, affluent suburb of Dallas, Texas, a state with over 380,000 residents diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Nearly 17 percent percent of Grapevine's population of 54,000 are seniors over 65; the city has nearly two dozen memory care facilities to care for the needs of this group.  While some assisted living communities in Grapevine have a separate secure wing for memory care residents that are designed to allow aging in place, others are facilities completely dedicated to Alzheimer's care. 

Texas stipulates that Alzheimer's and dementia care be provided in Type B nursing care facilities. Type B facilities house those who would be unable to evacuate in an emergency without staff assistance and those who require overnight supervision and aid.  

• Summers in Grapevine are long and hot, when heat waves of 100 degrees or hotter are common. Seniors who are especially sensitive to heat will likely be uncomfortable, although the milder winters and rare snowfall may alleviate certain health conditions. 
  
• There is no state income tax in Texas; this exemption also includes income from Social Security, disability, and retirement investments. This may help families when budgeting for Alzheimer's care fees. Although Texas has higher property taxes and sales taxes than many other states, those in memory care are largely unaffected. 
  
• The overall cost of living in Grapevine is noticeably higher than the national average, although high housing costs, nearly double the U.S. average, are the reason. These higher housing costs may affect boarding fees for memory care residents. 
  
• The Grapevine area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as the University of Texas Center for Brain Health and Parkland Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
