READ MORESan Antonio has a total population of 1,434,625 residents. Because 12.5% of the population are seniors over the age of 65, over 179,300 of the city’s residents are considered at high risk for requiring dementia care. According to the CDC, Alzheimer’s deaths in San Antonio increased by more than 19% between 2016 and 2020, while the city’s total population only grew by slightly over 8% between 2010 and 2020.
For researchers at the Alzheimer’s Association, this increase is unsurprising. Their studies indicate that nationwide Alzheimer’s diagnoses will likely double by 2050. However, despite this increase in the Alzheimer’s mortality rate, Alzheimer’s deaths as a percentage of total deaths in San Antonio actually decreased slightly from 8.87% in 2016 to 8.83% in 2020.
Fortunately, San Antonio has numerous memory care facilities where seniors can receive 24/7 assistance from caregivers specially trained in helping seniors overcome the challenges of living with dementia. This guide details the type of care available at these facilities, how much seniors can expect to pay and resources that may help offset costs.
