READ MOREIn Oshkosh, an age-friendly city with a senior population that accounts for 14% of the 66,000 residents, those seeking dementia care have access to a broad range of resources and health care amenities. This support system may be partly responsible for the decreasing number of Alzheimer's-related deaths in the city, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting a decline in the number of deaths in recent years. In 2016, Alzheimer’s was the underlying cause of 7.7% of deaths in the Oshkosh region, compared to 7.3% of instances in 2020. During that period, the total number of Alzheimer’s-related deaths went up by 11%, even though the total number of deaths across all causes increased by 18%.
Oshkosh has several memory care facilities that support seniors living with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia. These facilities have specially trained caregivers and offer evidence-based therapies and recreational activities to support residents' cognitive, physical and social functioning.Â
This guide provides an overview of memory care costs in the Oshkosh region and highlights free and low-cost resources that can help seniors and families.

The department also sets minimum standards for how many residents a facility must have, and it publishes information on residents’ rights and state waivers that pay for long-term care.
