What to Consider About Memory Care in Plano

Nursing homes and assisted living facilities, which often are home to specialized memory care units, are licensed by the Texas Department of Aging and Disabilities. This agency also monitors the operations of each facility to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Plano

  • Specialized health care is very accessible to seniors residing in Plano. The city is home to 129 doctors who treat Alzheimer’s and dementia, along with three hospitals, including the Baylor Scott & White Medical Center. In nearby Dallas, the UT Southwestern Medical Center is home to the Center for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases, which researches new ways to diagnose and treat cognitive disorders. 
  • Plano has 228 physicians per capita, which is higher than the national average of 210, making health care services more accessible to the elderly. Another benefit is that the area’s health cost index of 96.9 is lower than the national average of 100, meaning that seniors’ health care costs may be slightly cheaper, as demonstrated by memory care facility costs.
  • Though crime rates in Plano are higher than the national average, they are lower than the typical rates found in similarly sized cities. The rate of violent crimes in Plano is just two per 1,000 residents, which is around the national average. At 17 per 1,000 residents, property crimes are much higher than average, but memory care facilities have many security measures in place to protect against those crimes.
  • Plano’s summers can be hot and humid, but the city is known for its mild winters. Because the area receives 229 sunny days per year, outdoor walks for seniors are accessible most of the time. Residents can expect summer highs of less than 90 degrees and winter lows of around 20 degrees, but fortunately, the area generally sees no more than two inches of snow and 41 inches of rain per year. 
  • Plano is recognized as an AARP network age-friendly community, demonstrating its commitment to creating a supportive environment for its seniors. Through various initiatives and services, Plano aims to enhance the quality of life for its older residents by providing accessible transportation, affordable housing, social engagement opportunities and health care services.

Paying for Memory Care in Plano

Note: Residential memory care is usually offered in assisted living facilities, and in general, memory care rates tend to be 20-30% higher than assisted living rates. No national database currently tracks memory care costs in the United States, so we’ve estimated the monthly memory care costs listed below by adding 25% to the rates listed in Genworth’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey.

Memory care facilities in Plano cost an average of $5,244 per month.

The Cost of Memory Care in Nearby Cities

Nearby Longview, however, is right around the same cost as Plano with only around a $100 per month difference.

Less expensive options include in-home care and home health care, both $382 per month cheaper, and assisted living facilities, which average $1,049 per month less. The cheapest available option is adult day health care, which costs $3,727 less than memory care.
