What to Consider About Memory Care in Princeton

Princeton, New Jersey, the home of one of the top Ivy League schools in the nation, has a population of 31,000, 17 percent of whom are seniors over 65. The state of New Jersey estimates that 180,000 of its residents have Alzheimer's Disease or dementia. and some of these people may need to transition into one of the dozen memory care facilities in the city. 

Memory care facilities are regulated and licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health. Specific dementia care facilities are known as Dementia Care Homes and are required to provide certain levels of care for persons with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders or other forms of dementia. These regulations cover staff training and 24-hour supervision and security of residents. These regulations also apply to assisted living facilities that have a separate memory care wing.

These costs may affect memory care fees because some facilities may have higher operating costs, which they pass along to the residents. 
  • Crime rates in Princeton are below that national average, which may be beneficial to those in memory care when they are escorted out and about.
