In Ohio, about 220,000 people age 65 and up have Alzheimer's disease. In Parma, where almost 18 percent of the city's residents belong to this age group, two memory care facilities serve seniors with Alzheimer's and various types of dementia. Another 23 facilities can be found in communities nearby, such as Cleveland and Cuyahoga Falls.
