What to Consider About Memory Care in Richardson

Richardson, population 117,000, is a suburb just north of the Dallas, Texas, and considered part of the bustling DFW metroplex. In Texas, roughly 380,000 residents are diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia. With over 80 memory care facilities in Richardson, there are plenty of options for seniors and their loved ones.

Memory care facilities in Texas are subject to specific state regulations, focusing on staff training and certification. These laws stipulate that Alzheimer's and dementia care be provided in Type B nursing care facilities only, a legal designation that has certain supervisory requirements for the employees. Those facilities that are designated Certified Alzheimer's care campuses admit only those with a physician's diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Richardson

  • Weather in Richardson is mild in the wintertime, alleviating some health conditions aggravated by the cold and damp. Late summer highs can reach the high 90s or over 100, which can be uncomfortable for those sensitive to high heat. 
  • Texas does not have a state income tax, which may be beneficial for those on a fixed income. Retirement income and Social Security benefits are also exempt from state taxes. Texas state sales tax and property taxes are higher than many other states, although seniors in memory care are typically unaffected. 
  • The cost of living in Richardson is about 25 percent higher than the national average, mainly due to higher housing costs. While this slightly affects memory care boarding fees, the cost of groceries, utilities and healthcare are closer to the national average. 
  • The Richardson area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Parkland Hospital and UT Dallas Center for Brain Health, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
