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

Mansfield is a smaller suburb of Dallas, Texas, a state with over 380,000 Alzheimer's Disease or dementia patients. Ten percent of the town's 69,000 person population are seniors over 65, and Mansfield is home to several memory care facilities to support those in this population with memory impairments.

These facilities include both assisted living communities with a secure wing for memory care residents designed to allow aging in place, and other facilities completely dedicated to Alzheimer's care. Memory care facilities are subject to specific state regulations, focusing on staff training and certification. Memory care communities are considered Type B nursing care facilities, designated by the state. 

• Mansfield is known for a climate of long, hot summers and mild winters. Late summer highs can reach the high 90s or over 100, but cold winters and snow are rare. Memory care residents with certain health conditions may be uncomfortable in the summer. 
  
• Texas does not have a state income tax and also exempts income from Social Security benefits and retirement accounts. Families helping loved ones afford memory care may have a bit of extra income to work with. The higher property and sales taxes in Texas shouldn't affect those in memory care facilities. 
  
• The cost of living in Mansfield is higher than the national average, although the high cost of housing skews the city average higher. Healthcare and grocery costs, for example, are slightly lower than the national average.
  
• The Mansfield area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and UT - Dallas Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
