The tiny city of Worthington is a suburb of Ohio's capital city, Columbus. Of the approximately 14,600 residents in Worthington, about 21 percent are age 65 or older, which is an indication of the peaceful town's appeal to seniors. With 220,000 seniors diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in Ohio as of 2018 and a projected increase of 13.6 percent by 2025, memory care facilities are in demand throughout the state. To meet the needs of Worthington residents with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, there are two memory care facilities within the city limits and 21 others in surrounding communities.
In Worthington, as in all of Ohio, memory care facilities are licensed by the Ohio Department of Health in the same way as all residential care facilities (RCFs.) The only separate requirement is that RCFs that accept residents with dementia must undergo staff training specific to dealing with these types of residents.
