The small village of Willowbrook is home to just 8,500 people and has a large senior community that makes up over 22 percent of the population. The village is located in DuPage County, where it's projected that over 10 percent of Medicare beneficiaries age 65 and over are living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
Willowbrook has one memory care facility, and there are 16 more in the surrounding region.

- The American Lung Association gave DuPage County an F for ozone pollution, indicating very high levels of this type of pollution.

Families may want to ensure that the memory care facility they choose takes precautions to keep residents and their belongings secured.
- Willowbrook seniors do not pay state income tax on any type of retirement income, including Social Security benefits and income from pensions and retirement accounts. This may allow for more money toward memory care expenses in Willowbrook.
