READ MOREDementia becomes more of a concern with age. The Alzheimer’s Association estimates that Alzheimer’s affects 6.7 million Americans 65 and older. Warwick has a larger population of residents aged 65 and older than the national average with 20.5% of the 83,000 residents falling in that range compared to 16.8% nationally. That means a larger number of Warwick residents might need dementia care to help get the assistance they need. The CDC data shows that Alzheimer’s-related deaths in Warwick increased by 17.33% from 2016 to 2020, but that’s lower than the increase in all deaths, which jumped by 25.61% during the same period.
Despite the statistics, many memory care communities are available to offer specialized care for people with cognitive impairments. Trained caregivers offer constant monitoring in secure neighborhoods where entrances are access-controlled and the layout makes it easier for residents to navigate. Many therapies and activities offered are designed to slow the progression of the disease. Within this guide, seniors and their families can explore the pros and cons of Warwick for memory care residents, memory care costs and other long-term care options. It also covers financial assistance information and community resources that can benefit residents with memory loss.
