A 2024 Alzheimer's Association study found more than 6 million Americans live with Alzheimer's, and it projects that to rise to almost 13 million by 2050. It revealed 1 in 3 Americans dies with dementia, raising concerns that Alzheimer's-related deaths will rise, too. However, despite an almost 10% population rise between 2010 and 2020, CDC figures for Coral Springs show Alzheimer's-related deaths fell by nearly 5% between 2016 and 2020. For context, deaths from all causes in the same period rose by nearly 19% in a city where 11.6% of its 134,400 residents are seniors.
Although deaths from memory loss conditions are generally rising, dementia care is also improving. Memory care communities specialize in aiding seniors facing cognitive decline. Staff is specifically trained to help, and facilities typically have structured plans designed to mitigate dementia's advance. Calming colors throughout and a focus on sensory stimulation also help residents cope with anxiety.Â
