Winter Springs has a large senior community that accounts for a fifth of its 39,000 residents, supporting the need for dementia care and treatment options. The Alzheimer’s Association predicts a 24% increase in the number of Alzheimer’s diagnoses over the next few years, but fortunately, not all communities see the same degree of impact from this disease. In the Winter Springs region, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports an increase of less than 1% in the number of Alzheimer’s-related deaths between 2016 and 2020. This comes in well below the 17% increase in the total number of deaths.
While curative treatment for Alzheimer’s doesn’t exist, seniors may enjoy an improved quality of life through residential memory care. This long-term care option features dementia-informed social and recreational activities, dining programs and care services in fully secured environments.
