READ MOREAlzheimer’s presents a growing concern in California, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting it as the fifth leading cause of death in the state. In San Leandro, where those aged 65 and over account for 17% of the 87,000 residents, the CDC links about a tenth of all deaths to Alzheimer’s. While the total number of deaths linked to this disease only increased by 7% between 2016 and 2020, versus the total increase of 14% across deaths of all causes, both reporting years saw Alzheimer’s as the main cause of death in 10% of instances.
Fortunately, San Leandro has several residential dementia care communities that accommodate seniors living with memory loss. These facilities have caregivers who complete dementia-specific training to effectively administer individualized care services, recognize discomfort and redirect certain behaviors. They also have secured indoor and outdoor common areas to support residents' safety while maximizing their independence, and they incorporate evidence-based programming to enhance cognitive engagement.
This guide outlines memory care rates in San Leandro and popular options for paying for care.
