According to a 2024 Alzheimer's Association report, over 6 million Americans are living with the disorder, a figure projected to rise to almost 13 million by 2050. The report also reveals that one in three Americans dies with a form of dementia. These revelations raise concerns that Alzheimer's-related deaths will increase, a concern supported by CDC data for Rocklin, which shows a 50% increase in deaths linked to Alzheimer's between 2016 and 2020, a period when the city's deaths from all causes rose by a much lower 14.01%. Since 13.8% of Rocklin's estimated 74,000 residents are seniors, the subject of dementia care is important.
Through a combination of trained staff, structured programs and a safe and secure environment, memory care facilities help residents deal with cognitive decline. Programs are designed to maintain memory, develop perception and enhance emotional engagement.
This guide discusses memory care costs in relation to other types of care and considers the pros and cons of living in Rocklin. It also covers financial assistance programs and lists some free and low-cost resources for families.
