Daly City is a retirement-friendly community with a large senior population that accounts for 19% of the estimated 100,000 residents. Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia pose a significant threat to public health, promoting the need for effective dementia care and treatment options. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that between 2016 and 2020, the number of Alzheimer’s-related deaths in Daly City climbed by about 8%. By comparison, the total number of deaths across all causes went up by less than 5%.
Currently, there’s no cure for Alzheimer’s, but tailored treatment can improve the individual's quality of life and in some cases, slow the progression of the disease. Memory care facilities offer a therapeutic environment for those with dementia, offering evidence-based programming, failure-free social and recreational activities and around-the-clock supervision. These facilities feature common areas residents can safely explore, and many engage residents through pet therapy, creative arts and life skills stations.
Through this guide, readers can learn about memory care in Daly City as well as some resources that can help them navigate the system.
