What to Consider About Memory Care in Knox County

In 2018, 120,000 Tennessee seniors had Alzheimer's disease, and that number is expected to grow by nearly 17 percent by 2025, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Nearly 16 percent of Knox County's 461,860 residents are aged 65 and older. Some of these seniors may be living with Alzheimer's disease and may benefit from living in one of the county's 13 memory care facilities.

These memory care facilities, defined as assisted living facilities by the state, are subject to the Tennessee Department of Health's Board for Licensing Healthcare Facilities' regulations. Thanks to these regulations, seniors' families can rest easy knowing that memory care facilities in Knox County are trained to care for seniors living with Alzheimer's disease.
