What to Consider About Memory Care in Rockwall
Rockwall is an affluent suburb in the busy Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in the state of Texas where it's estimated 380,000 people suffer from Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Rockwall has a population of 44,000, 12 percent of whom are over 65 and may need to transition to memory care facilities. Some assisted living homes have a secure memory care wing, subject to state regulations. Rockwall also has nearly 30 Alzheimer's care-only facilities, which receive this designation from the state's Department of Health and Senior Services.
Alzheimer's and dementia care facilities are considered Type B nursing care in Texas. The state differentiates two levels of care, based on resident needs including overnight care and staff assistance to evacuate in emergencies.
-
Weather in Rockwall is mild in the wintertime, a respite for some health conditions worsened by the cold and damp. North Texas summers may be uncomfortable for those sensitive to high heat, as high temperatures over 90 are common.
- Texas does not have a state income tax, which may be beneficial for those budgeting for memory care, especially since retirement income and Social Security benefits are also state tax exempt. Property taxes and sales tax are high, although those in memory care are largely unaffected.
- The cost of living in Richardson is higher than the national average, although the housing category is the main contributor. Grocery costs, utilities and health care are slightly lower than the U.S. average. Higher housing may affect memory care fees.
- The Rockwall 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.
