What to Consider About Memory Care in Auburn

A city with a population of just over 80,000, 11 percent of whom are 65 and older, Auburn is a suburb of Seattle just east of the Puget Sound. It's located in the state of Washington, where 110,000 people have Alzheimer’s disease or some form of dementia. To accommodate these individuals, there are two memory care facilities within the city limits and nine close by in cities like Federal Way, Milton and Kent. These facilities are regulated by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services and are specialized dementia care units within an assisted living facility or in a standalone building.
