To address this growing concern, the state has enacted an Alzheimer's Disease State Plan, emphasizing the need for Alzheimer's special care units, which can be found at assisted living facilities, shared living establishments and supportive living facilities. There is currently just one facility providing this type of care in Granite City, however over 40 additional options can be found in nearby communities.

The rate of violent crime in Granite City scores 45.2 out of 100, while Illinois receives 31.2, and the rate of property crime is 38.7, compared to 27.5. While most memory care faculties are outfitted with surveillance equipment and have safety procedures in place, it's a good idea to review this information with staff members.
