What to Consider About Memory Care in Lithia Springs
Lithia Springs is a census-designated place in eastern Douglas County, where 8.2 percent of the town's more than 15,000 residents are aged 65 or older. Across the county, one out of every ten seniors in this age group is living with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia.
When home care is no longer sufficient for a loved one who has dementia, moving to a memory care facility may be the best option. The Lithia Springs area offers 76 memory care units, which the state licenses as part of Assisted Living Communities or Personal Care Homes. One of these units is in Lithia Springs, and the others are in neighboring cities, including Smyrna and Marietta.
