The town of Windsor, CA, is home to 27,500 people in the lush California Wine Country outside of Santa Rosa. Around 14.7 percent of Windsor's residents are seniors age 65 and up, and those with Alzheimer's disease, or another form of dementia, get the supervision and care they need to live comfortably in one of the town's six memory care facilities.

These facilities, as long-term residential care properties, are all regulated through the state of California Department of Social Services Adult Care Licensing Program, which monitors and inspects conditions at licensed sites around the state. 

• Windsor's climate is generally mild, though this part of the Wine Country is rugged enough to bring surprise rain showers and occasional heat waves in late summer, depending on the vagaries of the Delta breeze. Summertime highs here average 83 degrees Fahrenheit, while winter lows average 37 degrees in December and January. The larger Santa Rosa area gets a healthy 36 inches of rain in a year, which unfortunately brings up a lot of pollen and mold, which can cause distress for seniors with asthma and severe allergies.
  
• The cost of living in the western Santa Rosa area can be high, but by California's high standards, it's reasonable. The overall cost of living is 178 percent of the average national rate across all categories, such as housing and utility bills, though seniors' healthcare may be as low as 92 percent of the average cost nationwide.
  
• Windsor is a peaceful place to live. Crime rates here are almost exactly half the national rates across categories. Violent crime is a rarity, while property crime rates are nearly as low, so seniors with Alzheimer's can feel safe here.
  
• The Windsor area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital and Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
