READ MOREWest Palm Beach is a city in southern Florida that’s home to around 117,000 residents. About one-fifth of the city’s population are seniors aged 65 and older. Alzheimer’s disease is responsible for an increasing number of deaths among elderly Americans each year. Studies from the Alzheimer’s Association show that one in every three seniors dies with dementia. To help combat this, many cities have adopted a variety of dementia care initiatives. West Palm Beach has been successful in these efforts. As reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of Alzheimer’s-related deaths in the city decreased by more than 31% between 2016 and 2020.
This achievement is partly due to the care provided by the city’s many memory care facilities. These communities ensure seniors with dementia have access to the personalized daily support they need in a safe, secure setting.
This guide features information about memory care in West Palm Beach, including some of the benefits and drawbacks of living in the city, the average cost of memory care and where seniors can go for local support.
