What to Consider About Memory Care in Victoria County
Victoria County is located along the Gulf Coast of Texas, centering around the city of Victoria, near Houston. It's estimated that 380,000 residents in the state of Texas have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, illnesses that are particularly prevalent in the vulnerable 65 and older demographic. In Victoria County, 14,000 out of a population of 92,000 are seniors in this age range; out of that number, 13 percent have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia.

Victoria County's climate is noted for long, hot summers and mild winters with no snow. While January lows rarely dip below 40 degrees, summer heats waves, including temperatures reaching in the high 90s and 100s, are common. Seniors with health conditions alleviated by warmer weather may enjoy living here.
- Texas does not have a state income tax, so seniors get to keep all monies from Social Security benefits and retirement accounts. Therefore, families helping loved ones afford memory care may have a bit of extra income to work with.
- Air quality in Victoria County can be among the poorest in the nation, according to the American Lung Association. The regions near the Gulf Coast rate high in ozone pollution as well as particle pollution drifting inland from the oil rigs in the Gulf. As a result, seniors with respiratory concerns may be uncomfortable here.
- Harris County is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as DeTar Hospital Navarro and Citizens Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
