Of those 85 and older, this number increases to an estimated 33%. 16.2% of Longmont's population of nearly 99,000 is 65 or older, putting them at risk of developing Alzheimer's or related disorders. The prevalence of Alzheimer's has been increasing, and this trend can be seen in Longmont as well. In 2016, Alzheimer's was linked to 7.99% of all deaths. In 2020, this number increased to 8.22%.
As symptoms of cognitive decline increase over time, some seniors may require admission into a specialized memory care facility. There, they can receive evidence-based dementia care designed to alleviate symptoms and improve their quality of life, as well as assistance with daily living tasks. Often, memory care communities offer activities such as pet therapy, arts, aromatherapy and other stimulating options to engage the senses and encourage memories.
This guide focuses on memory care in Longmont, including information on regulations, benefits and drawbacks and an overview of costs. It also provides local resources for seniors in memory care.
