READ MOREFranklin, TN, is a city located in Williamson County with a population of 85,469. The city has a significant senior population, with older adults accounting for 13.1% of all residents. Individuals within this age group are at a higher risk for Alzheimer’s, as research by the Alzheimer’s Association shows that 1 in 9 Americans over the age of 65 live with dementia. Nonetheless, seniors can enhance their quality of life with access to quality dementia care. Data from the CDC shows that Alzheimer’s related deaths in Franklin decreased from 5.45% to 3.12% between 2016 and 2020, due in part to accessible memory care services.
Memory care facilities typically provide 24-hour supervision, care and support for those living with Alzheimer’s and other cognitive conditions. Staff at these facilities are trained to assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing and meals. Memory care facilities also offer social activities to keep seniors engaged and stimulated.
This guide assesses the advantages and disadvantages of residing in Franklin while comparing the cost of memory care and other care alternatives. Seniors and their loved ones can also gain insight into the support available to them using the table of resources below.
