READ MOREIrvine is a welcoming city with over 307,000 residents and a senior community that accounts for 10% of the population. Despite this relatively small senior population, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that Alzheimer’s has had a significant impact on public health, promoting the need for dementia care. Between 2016 and 2020, the number of Alzheimer’s deaths in the region increased by about 19%. This is in line with the increase of 21% across all causes of death. In both reporting years, about 11% of the total number of deaths were linked to Alzheimer’s.
To meet the needs of its senior population, Irvine has numerous memory care facilities. These facilities are staffed with registered nurses and trained caregivers who administer individualized care plans, assist with eating and bathing and provide companionship and around-the-clock monitoring. Residents participate in failure-free activities and evidence-based dementia programming that may enhance their quality of life and independence. This guide provides more information on memory care in Irvine, including how much care costs and where seniors and families can find information and support.
