What to Consider About Memory Care in Weatherford

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Weatherford

  • Weatherford’s overall cost of living is roughly on par with the national average but about 10% higher than the state median, which may be a consideration for those with limited budgets. Transportation and housing costs are relatively high here, but seniors may be able to save money by transitioning to residential care.  
  • Property crime occurs in Weatherford at about the same frequency as in the nation as a whole, but violent crime is uncommon and may provide peace of mind to those moving loved ones to local memory care. On a 100-point crime index, the city rates 34.8 for property crime compared to the national rate of 35.4 and 8.6 for violent crime versus 22.7 nationally.  
  • Daytime temperatures in Weatherford range from 56-95 degrees, providing plenty of opportunities to enjoy therapeutic outdoor activities such as birdwatching and gardening. The city sees about 35 inches of annual rainfall but only about an inch of snow, which may benefit those who rely on mobility aids.  
  • There is about half the number of doctors per capita in Weatherford than in the typical U.S. city, and health care costs are about 18% higher than the national median. However, Medical City Weatherford, a 103-bed full-service hospital, is located in the city proper, and there are over a dozen hospitals within a 30-mile radius. Local nonprofit agencies can help older adults find specialized care for chronic conditions such as dementia. 
  • There’s no state income tax in Texas, which may provide significant cost savings for retirees and leave more money in the bank for memory care costs. Sales and property tax rates are among the highest in the nation, but living in residential facilities may enable seniors to avoid these living costs.
