According to research by the Alzheimer's Association, Georgia projects a 26.7% increase in the number of people aged 65 and older with cognitive disorders by 2025. Kennesaw houses over 33,500 residents, including a senior population comprising 13.1%. Because this age group presents high risk for memory loss, access to quality dementia care is crucial, especially since Kennesaw experienced an 18.99% increase in Alzheimer's-related deaths between 2016 and 2020, according to CDC data. However, this falls lower than the city's overall death toll increase of 27.48%.Â
Memory care communities in Kennesaw address this issue by providing secure environments for seniors with memory loss to access specially trained staff and cognitive therapies. They also offer 24-hour support and easy-to-navigate designs, with visual directional cues and spacious rooms, to prevent accidents and enhance resident safety.Â
This guide explores Kennesaw's quality of life for seniors with memory loss and compares local care costs to those in surrounding cities. Additionally, it offers resources to help readers access needed care.Â
