What to Consider About Memory Care in Placer County

Despite its size, the county is sparsely populated, with just 386,000 residents, 19.1 percent of them seniors, and 18 memory care facilities to care for seniors with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

All residential long-term care facilities in the state are licensed through the California Department of Social Services Adult Care Licensing Program, which inspects sites and enforces standards of health and safety, staff training and quality of care.
