The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Pearland, TX for 2024

 

Approximately 380,000 people aged 65+ were living with Alzheimer's disease throughout Texas in 2018, but numbers are estimated to rise by 28.9% leading up to 2025. While the condition's symptoms are often challenging to manage, Alzheimer's is also known for its shockingly high mortality rate, which has increased by 35.97% from 2016 to 2020 in Pearland, according to CDC data. This is a worrying trend considering seniors comprise 10.9% of the city's population of 126,949, and up to 1 in 9 people that age suffer from the condition.

Although managing Alzheimer's is challenging, dementia care can help facilitate a longer and more fulfilling life in many cases. While similar to assisted living communities, memory care facilities have extra safety features and security to help prevent wandering and injuries. They also employ specially trained staff and provide therapeutic activities that may help slow cognitive decline and improve memory recall.

This guide discusses the costs of memory care in Pearland and the forms of financial assistance available to families. It also outlines the major benefits and drawbacks of living in the city.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Pearland

Memory care facilities in Pearland and other cities throughout Texas fall under the authority of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. This government agency licenses providers and performs regular inspections to ensure they follow all laws concerning staff training, resident safety and food quality. It also investigates allegations of elder abuse.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Pearland

 

  • The cost of living in Pearland measures 104.2 on a 100-point index, which standardizes the U.S. average at 100. Prices overall are only slightly higher than average — especially considering Pearland is part of a metropolitan area — so the city may offer an affordable option for families seeking memory care for loved ones close to the heart of Houston.
  • Like other cities in Texas, Pearland has exceptionally mild winters. Temperatures generally don't drop below 44.4 degrees in January, compared to the national average of 21.7, and the region typically experiences no snowfall, potentially making it a comfortable home for seniors who dislike cold weather.
  • Pearland is a suburb within the Houston metropolitan area, so it benefits from Houston's AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities membership. Network members commit to improving infrastructure and affordability for seniors in the community.
  • Pearland has low crime rates, which may make it a safer place for seniors with cognitive deficits from dementia. Measured on a 100-point scale, violent crime rates sit at 13.4 vs. 22.7 nationwide, while property crime rates are 5.3‬ points lower than the U.S. average of 35.4.
  • The physician density in Pearland is relatively low, as there are only 137 physicians per 100,000 people, compared to the national average of 210. However, the Houston region as a whole has 185 physicians per 100,000 residents, improving accessibility. Health care prices are also more affordable in Pearland, at 13.6% below the U.S. average, which may make the city ideal for families with limited budgets.
  • Living in Pearland provides access to some of Texas' best-performing hospitals, such as HCA Houston, which offers many cardiology services to manage heart disease, and Houston Methodist Hospital, which has received awards recognizing it as the top hospital in Texas for patient care and safety.
  • Air quality varies in Pearland, sometimes falling into the moderate U.S. Air Quality Index rating. However, it's generally good overall, and seniors with Alzheimer's typically spend more time indoors, which can help them stay comfortable when the air quality drops.
