The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Troy, MI for 2023

There are 180,000 seniors 65 and older in Michigan who suffer from Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia, and in Troy alone, over 15 percent of the population is over the 65 and up, creating the need for memory care assistance. While many seniors are in good health and continue to live independently, a sizeable number of seniors in the area require high-level care for dementia disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease and Huntington's Disease.

Seniors who require this level of care can choose from the area's 30 facilities that provide memory care to the elderly. In Troy, as in the rest of Michigan, these facilities are officially known as homes for the aged. Homes for the aged are regulated by the Michigan Bureau of Children and Adult Licensing and must follow the same rules and regulations as assisted living facilities, which are often housed alongside memory care facilities. 

• High levels of ozone pollution in the area can pose health risks to residents of Troy who are over 65 years of age. This is particularly true for those who suffer from a respiratory illness or cardiovascular disease.

• Troy may be too expensive for some seniors, as the overall cost of living is more than 25 percent higher than the U.S. average.
