Coffee County, Georgia, is home to 43,014 people, 5,674 of whom are age 65 or older, the age group most susceptible to Alzheimer's disease. These figures are projected to be far higher by 2025 as the state's senior population swells from 140,000 to 190,000 and the disease grows proportionately with it.
Alzheimer's patients may require the attention of an assisted living facility that specializes in caring for those with dementia. The Georgia Department of Community Health licenses, regulates and inspects memory care units that concentrate on supervision and treatment of patients with cognitive impairments. Two of these units are in Coffee County.
