What to Consider About Memory Care in Monroe County

Illinois’ historic bluff precinct, Monroe County, is home to 32,957 residents, 14.1 percent of whom are aged 65 or older. Some of these seniors may be among the 220,000 Illinois residents who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Monroe County has two memory care facilities, with one in Columbia and the other in Waterloo.

In Monroe County, like the rest of the state of Illinois, memory care facilities are licensed by the Illinois Department of Health and are referred to as assisted living facilities.

These lower crime rates may give seniors and their families peace of mind.
