The Best Memory Care Facilities in Texas City, TX

Dementia, and specifically Alzheimers, is a serious, growing problem. In fact, 1 out of every 10 adults over the age of 65 has Alzheimer’s dementia. As Texas City’s senior population continues to grow (26% growth between 2015 and 2020), so does the concern about aging and the risk of cognitive impairment. 

In Texas City, the number of deaths for those 65 and older caused or partly caused by Alzheimer’s disease rose 32% between 2015 and 2020.

Overall, the percentage of seniors’ deaths related to Alzheimer’s is higher than the rest of the nation (6.59% in Texas City vs. 6.46% in the U.S.).

How Memory Care Facilities Can Help

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 83% of all caregivers are unpaid family members, relatives, or other friends, and nearly half of all care is for older adults with some form of dementia. Caregiving, especially when it involves Alzheimer’s or dementia, is extremely exhausting and time consuming, leading many caregivers to feel isolated and overwhelmed.

As a loved one continues to progress through the stages of dementia and his or her cognitive abilities continue to decline, behavioral problems, safety, and general care often become more than one caregiver can handle. This is when it’s important to find extra help, and residential facilities that have specialized memory care programs are often the best solution.

In addition to providing a safe environment, memory care programs seek to delay or halt cognitive decline while providing the opportunity for a social, independent lifestyle.
