READ MOREThe Alzheimer’s Association predicts a 17% increase in the number of Alzheimer’s diagnoses in North Carolina in coming years, enforcing the need for effective dementia care and treatment options. In communities such as Wilson, where those aged 65 and over make up about 17% of the population, the number of Alzheimer's-related deaths has surged. In 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention attributed about 6.7% of deaths countywide to Alzheimer’s. Four years later, it named Alzheimer’s as the cause of death in 7% of cases. During this period, the number of Alzheimer’s-related deaths grew by 59%, even though the total number of deaths only increased by 52%.
The need for dementia services is stronger than ever, and fortunately, the Wilson region has several memory care facilities to meet this need. These facilities have 24-hour staffing, secured indoor and outdoor common areas and evidence-based programming to engage residents in a safe, nurturing environment.Â
