READ MOREYonkers has a population of around 211,569 people and is New York City’s largest suburb. It is a popular destination for commuters and seniors 65 and over, who make up nearly 17% of the population. This age group’s risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease is high and getting higher. The number of Alzheimer’s deaths in Yonkers climbed from 175 in 2014 to 228 in 2018, a 30.29% jump compared to only a 4.16% increase in all-cause mortality over the same period.

It also lists several resources that may be useful for seniors with memory loss and their families.
