The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Rocklin, CA for 2023

Rocklin is still a semi-rural commuter town located on the northern edge of the greater Sacramento area. Nearly 40 million people live in California, 16 percent of whom are over age 65, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and at least 650,000 of these have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. A number of other seniors in California have some form of dementia that makes them dependent on daily supervision and care from staff at memory care facilities. Many of these facilities are located on or near the grounds of assisted living communities, which are often part of the same provider network.

Rocklin has at least 20 licensed memory care facilities for seniors with Alzheimer's, dementia, Huntington's disease or other memory conditions. These facilities are sometimes referred to as residential care facilities for the elderly (RCFEs), in official documents, though the term "memory care" is also a common term used by the California Department of Health and Human Services, which regulates residential care facilities in the state. 

• Rocklin gets weather that is similar to nearby Folsom, though it is a bit dustier in the Foothills, which can aggravate some seniors' asthma or other allergies. Winter lows in the area average 39 degrees Fahrenheit in December and January, while summer highs in July and August average 95 degrees.
