What to Consider About Memory Care in Indio
Indio is an oasis in Southern California's Palm Desert. Home to nearly 90,000 residents, 16.6 percent of whom are seniors age 65 and over, the Indio is home to eight memory care facilities for seniors with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Patients who live in memory care are supervised full-time by staff who are trained to keep seniors safe and to follow seniors' treatment plans. This can be an ideal living arrangement for adults with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases.
Long-term residential care, which also includes the assisted living communities that are often located close by memory care properties, is regulated through the California Department of Social Services Adult Care Licensing Program.

Winter breezes off the nearby Salton Sea take winter temperatures down to an average of 44 degrees Fahrenheit in December and January, but summer highs here soar to a midday average of 107 degrees.
