What to Consider About Memory Care in Stockton
An estimated 650,000 residents of California over the age of 65 suffer from Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. This number is staggering and creates a substantial need for memory care facilities that provide residential care for seniors and support to their loved ones. In Stockton, a city of about 310,000 people, nearly 12 percent of the population is over 65 years old, and while many of these seniors are able to live independently, some require a specialized level of care for dementia disorders. Those who require this level of care can choose from ten memory care facilities in the area, including four in Stockton and an additional six in nearby places such as Tracy and Manteca.
Regulations for memory care facilities in the state are similar to those that are in place for assisted living facilities, and as such, many memory care and assisted living facilities are housed together. In California, facilities that provide the elderly with memory care and assisted living services are officially known as "Residential Care Facilities" (RCFs).
- Stockton's cost of living is more than 20 percent higher than the national average. Some seniors may find living in Stockton to be too expensive, especially those with limited income and/or savings.

A total of 39.7 property crimes and 14.4 violent crimes occur per 1,000 residents each year in the city, which means that residents of Stockton have a 1 in 69 chance of becoming the victim of a violent crime and a 1 in 25 chance of becoming the victim of a property crime. By comparison, the average California resident has only a 1 in 225 chance of becoming the victim of a violent crime and a 1 in 39 chance of becoming the victim of a property crime.
