Eight percent of Allen's population are seniors aged 65 and older; to care for those with memory conditions, Allen has over 40 memory care facilities. These homes are subject to specific state regulations, focusing on staff training and certification. The Texas Department of Health and Senior Services stipulates that Alzheimer's and dementia care be provided by Type B nursing care facilities, those that provide overnight supervision and staff-assisted emergency evacuation. Facilities that are designated Certified Alzheimer's care campuses admit only residents with a physician's diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
