What to Consider About Memory Care in Modesto
Modesto, California is home to nearly 215,000 residents, and more than 13 percent of its population is over the age of 65. Not all seniors in Modesto are able to live independently; there are eight memory care facilities in the area for those who require specialized care for dementia disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease. These facilities, officially known as Residential Care Facilities (RCFs) throughout California, provide high-level care services and support to seniors and their loved ones who are dealing with dementia.
