La Mesa is a small city that's located outside of San Diego in San Diego County, and it has a population that's just over 60,000 residents. According to the Alzheimer's Association, an estimated 650,000 Californians suffer from dementia disorders, and with nearly 15 percent of La Mesa's residents being over 65 years old, there's a need in the city for memory care. Seniors requiring residential memory care services can choose one of the city's two memory care facilities or one of the 20 facilities located nearby in places such as National City, Santee and San Diego.
In California, provisions and regulations for memory care are very similar to the provisions and regulations for assisted living, and as such, the two levels of care are often housed in the same communities. The state officially refers to facilities that provide assisted living and memory care to the elderly as residential care facilities.
La Mesa-area memory care communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all memory care communities in California are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in California page for more information about these laws.
