In Canyon County, which is served by the Greater Idaho Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, the 65-and-over community makes up almost 14 percent of the population of 217,000. Alzheimer's and dementia affects less than 9 percent of the region's seniors on Medicare compared to the national average of 11.3 percent.
