What to Consider About Memory Care in Dupage County

The state of Illinois is home to 220,000 seniors who are living with Alzheimer's disease. DuPage County has a population of more than 930,000, making it Illinois' second most populous county. Of these residents, 15 percent are aged 65 years and older, and may have some type of dementia.

To address this, the Illinois Department of Public Health has created an Alzheimer's Disease State Plan, which aims to make memory care services readily available. These services are offered at memory care facilities, also known as Alzheimer's special care units, and can be found in 29 locations across the county.
