READ MOREThe Alzheimer’s Association reports that the number of New York seniors living with Alzheimer’s, a disease that’s always fatal, will increase by 12% in coming years, creating a greater need than ever for effective dementia care solutions. While White Plains has a large senior community that accounts for 19% of the state’s 59,000 residents, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows only a modest increase in the number of deaths linked to Alzheimer’s in recent years. The total number of deaths in the White Plains region went up by 35% between 2016 and 2020, significantly outpacing the 17% increase in Alzheimer's-related deaths during that period.
For many seniors and families with dementia, residential memory care facilities provide practical, comprehensive solutions to disease-related challenges, such as improper nutrition, confusion and security. These facilities have highly trained caregivers who provide individualized care and assist with daily activities. Residents live in secured environments with indoor and outdoor common areas and can enjoy daily meals and recreation.
This guide provides details on memory care costs and supportive resources in White Plains.
