READ MORELocated along Florida's Gulf Coast, Bradenton is a city of around 56,000 residents, of whom nearly one-quarter are seniors aged 65 and older. The number of Americans impacted by Alzheimer's is growing every year, with the Alzheimer's Association projecting that 12.9 million individuals could be living with dementia by 2050. With such a large senior population, Bradenton is likely to see a large number of its residents affected by these conditions. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention supports this, showing that between 2014 and 2018, the number of Alzheimer's-related deaths rose by 129%. For perspective, the number of deaths from all causes increased by less than 15% during this time period.
Memory care facilities can serve as especially helpful dementia care resources for seniors impacted by Alzheimer's. They offer a secure space for seniors with memory loss conditions to enjoy their days, supported by the assistance and oversight of specially-trained caregiving staff. This guide explores some of the pros and cons of living in Bradenton, along with information about memory care costs and local support resources.
