Alzheimer's disease affects 190,000 seniors in Michigan, costing Medicaid $1.5 billion. While the condition is known for its effects on memory and cognitive abilities, it also carries a high mortality rate, often partially due to a lack of quality dementia care. Approximately 16.8% of the 75,936 people living in Rochester Hills are aged 65+, and deaths from Alzheimer's in this population have risen by 17.06% between 2016 and 2020, according to CDC data.
One way for families in Rochester Hills to help loved ones live comfortably with Alzheimer's is to arrange for memory care. Facilities offering this type of care provide a structured daily schedule and stimulating activities, such as music therapy and puzzles, that may help slow disease progression. Staff is trained to use special communication strategies to calm residents and can recognize signs of mental deterioration, alerting families and medical professionals to these changes.
This guide covers the costs, benefits and drawbacks associated with memory care in Rochester Hills. It also includes information about financial assistance and some free resources for families.
