Alzheimer’s disease affects 1 in 9 people in this age group, totaling 6.7 million people across America. The number of people affected by the disease is expected to increase to 12.7 million by 2050. In Woodstock, deaths related to Alzheimer’s increased by 52.56% between 2016 and 2020, while total deaths increased by only 36.46% during the same period. These figures illustrate the importance of residential dementia care, which can help reduce accidents and hospitalizations for people with cognitive impairment.

Staff in these facilities are specially trained in dementia care and can help residents manage their medications, moods and personal care. Memory care promotes socialization and offers evidence-based activities to promote cognitive health. This guide discusses the cost of this and other types of senior care in Woodstock. It also examines some of the area’s strengths and drawbacks and offers resources for people with memory impairment.
