What to Consider About Memory Care in Miami County
Just over 105,000 people live in Miami County, Ohio, and more than 18 percent of those are 65 years of age or older, which puts them at greater risk of developing a memory-related disease such as dementia or Alzheimer's. It's estimated that there are already around 220,000 people living with Alzheimer's across the state of Ohio, and this number is expected to rise to 250,000 by the year 2025.
