What to Consider About Memory Care in New Braunfels

The Texas Health and Human Services agency is responsible for licensing memory care communities in Texas. The process requires passing a health inspection and a Life Safety Code. Additionally, the agency handles ongoing monitoring of these communities to ensure they adhere to state and federal regulations. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in New Braunfels

 

  • Seniors who like warm weather may enjoy the subtropical climate of New Braunfels. With 226 sunny days per year and no snow, there's plenty of opportunity for outdoor walks and gatherings. Though summer temperatures can exceed 90 degrees, most memory care communities have air conditioning to keep seniors cool.
  • The city is home to close to 10 physicians who specialize in Alzheimer's and dementia, and there are many more medical personnel in the surrounding areas. Nearby are also several local geriatric-focused doctors and one hospital that has a unit that specializes in elder care.
  • New Braunfels' crime rate is 16.8, which is much less than the national average of 22.7. Of the crimes that occur, the majority are property crimes, which should have minimal or no impact on seniors who live in memory care communities. 
  • On a 100-point scale, the cost of living in the New Braunfels area is 99.4. This puts it slightly higher than the state average, but lower than the national average. Fortunately, the cost of memory care itself is significantly less than that of the state and most nearby cities, making it an attractive option for seniors with cognitive issues. Texas also doesn't have a state income tax, so Social Security and other retirement benefits continue to be tax-free, which is a boon for seniors looking to pay for memory care. 
  • The air quality in the area is rated 59 out of 100, which is on par with the country's average of 58. Seniors who suffer from asthma or other breathing complications will benefit from the care inside a senior living facility.
