READ MOREMinneapolis, MN, is home to 425,336 people, 10.2% of whom are seniors aged 65 and older. Minneapolis’s senior population is at an increased risk for Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia. Between 2016 and 2020, Alzheimer’s deaths in Minneapolis increased by 33.84%, and Alzheimer’s is the seventh leading cause of death in the country. With the number of Americans living with memory-loss disorders expected to reach 12.7 million by 2050, it’s fortunate that Minneapolis offers memory care services and support for this vulnerable demographic.

These communities are staffed by trained professionals familiar with the particulars of caring for people with memory-loss disorders. In addition, many communities employ the latest treatment methods and therapies to slow cognitive decline and improve residents’ overall quality of life. This guide provides an overview of dementia care in Minneapolis, including information families can use to make the most informed care decision for their loved ones.
