15 Memory Care Facilities near Englewood, FL

There is a growing number of seniors living with dementia in recent years, and in the state of Florida alone, statistics show 540,000 seniors are living with a memory-related disease. Englewood, Florida has a small population of only 14,863, but 48.6 percent of those people are 65 years old and older, which means a substantial number of seniors here need  support services for Alzheimer's disease, dementia, Huntington's disease or other cognitive impairments. To give these seniors quality care, Englewood has eight assisted living facilities that follow state-wide dementia care regulations, such as extra security measures and annual continuing education for staff members.

• Living in Englewood might be slightly more expensive than the U.S. average (by 6 percent), but it is about 5 percent cheaper than Florida’s average. This might be an incentive for individuals who have a limited amount of money and are living on a fixed income.
