Data from the Alzheimer's Association shows the incidence of Alzheimer's disease has increased rapidly in Texas over recent years, and the state will need to increase its dementia care workforce by at least 30.5% by 2030 to keep up with this rise. However, according to CDC data, Sherman is one of few Texan cities with relatively low Alzheimer's mortality rates of 15.52% vs. an all-cause mortality rate of 35.42%. This is despite 15.2% of the city's population of 45,264 being 65+.
Memory care plays a significant role in preventing Alzheimer's complications and early deaths, and Sherman has many excellent communities. Seniors living in these residences gain access to an experienced staff with specialized dementia training and therapeutic activities that may help improve recall and ease confusion. Often, these communities feature a mix of secure indoor and outdoor environments to foster a fulfilling lifestyle.
Families reading this guide will learn how to pay for memory care and how costs in Sherman compare to those in neighboring cities. The guide also explains state laws and regulations.
