Located 20 miles north of Tampa along the I-75 corridor, Wesley Chapel is a thriving suburban community with a growing population that includes more than 10,000 seniors citizens aged 62 or older. Like other parts of Florida, Wesley Chapel is experiencing a surge in dementia cases. Between 2014 and 2018, Alzheimer's-related deaths increased by 53% while overall deaths increased by roughly 12%. In 2018, the disease claimed 271 lives, which accounted for almost 6% of all deaths in the community.
While Alzheimer's has the potential to be fatal, many individuals remain in the early stages of the disease for years. Diet and lifestyle changes, regular exercise and brain fitness programs are all helpful tools for managing this condition. Many of these services are available at specialized memory care facilities. Communities may also offer multisensory therapies and remembrance stations that have a calming, soothing effect.
If you're considering memory care for a loved who is unable to live safely at home, this guide includes a directory of qualified providers. It also provides information about memory care costs and local government or nonprofit resources that can help families find care in Wesley Chapel.
Wesley Chapel is about as age-friendly as the typical Florida city according to its SeniorScore. This livability index rates communities based on more than 100 factors related to safety, affordability and accessibility. Wesley Chapel's rating of 76 is even with the state median and four points higher than the national average of 72.
Although central Florida is a nature lover's paradise, Wesley Chapel received just 56 points for Recreation & Leisure. Seniors account for less than one in five residents, which lowered this rating. However, the community features abundant amenities, including 120 grocery stores, 100 religious institutions, 95 golf courses and a dozen shopping centers. Health & Safety, which considers the number of hospitals, doctors and long-term care facilities, received a moderate rating of 61. Although the area has a limited number of fire stations and just three hospitals, including Brandon Regional and the AdventHealth Wesley Chapel Emergency Room, residents live slightly longer than the U.S. average.
Wesley Chapel received excellent ratings of 76 and 77 for Finances and General Quality of Life. Property and sales taxes are low, and the cost of living is competitive. While residents earn significantly more than the typical American, there's no state income tax. Additionally, memory support and other forms of long-term care are much more affordable than the national averages. The city's mild climate, moderate population density and excellent air quality boosted its General Quality of Life rating, although the score was tempered by long commute times and limited public transportation access.
National studies exploring memory care costs are limited. However, on average, memory care costs 20 to 30% more than assisted living. For these reasons, average assisted living rates collected by Genworth Financial's 2020 Cost of Care Survey have been increased by 25% to reflect the added costs associated with security, staffing and specialized recreational programs provided in memory care facilities.
Based on this calculation, memory care in Wesley Chapel costs approximately $4,031 per month, which is almost $600 lower than the state median of $4,625. This community offers an impressive value when compared to other parts of the United States. Across the nation, seniors pay $5,375 per month for memory care, which is $1,344 more than the local average.
As part of the Tampa metropolitan area, Wesley Chapel is one of Florida's most affordable communities for memory care. Area seniors pay just $4,031 per month for these services. The next most affordable city in the region is Orlando at $4,625, which is on par with the state median and roughly $600 higher than Wesley Chapel. Average prices are about $830 higher in the North Port area at $4,860 per month.
Prices increase further in Ocala, Homosassa Springs and Gainesville. Memory care in these cities costs anywhere from $5,000 to $5,714 per month, which represents a premium of about $970 to $1,680. In The Villages, seniors pay approximately $2,160 more per month for care, and Tallahassee is one of the most expensive areas for memory care with average rates that exceed $6,880 per month.
