The number of seniors with Alzheimer’s in the United States will nearly double by 2050, from 6.7 million in 2023 to approximately 12.7 million. This projection is especially concerning for places such as League City, where more than 13,000 residents, or about 11.5% of the total population, are aged 65 or over. The area experienced a 37.5% jump in Alzheimer’s-related deaths from 2016 to 2020, according to the CDC, overshadowing its overall mortality rate increase of 24.28% for the same period. This accelerated growth highlights the importance of having access to quality dementia care services.
Fortunately, memory care communities provide specialized services for those with Alzheimer’s and related conditions, including 24-hour supervision, assistance with daily activities and therapeutic programs promoting cognitive health. In addition, residents live in specially designed environments to prevent wandering while ensuring their safety and comfort.
This guide delves into the pros and cons of living in League City and discusses the costs associated with memory care or alternative options. It also provides information on applicable regulations and helpful resources for city residents.
