Salem is a small city of fewer than 26,000 people, nearly 19 percent of whom are seniors. It's situated in the southwestern region of Virginia, a state where 140,000 seniors have Alzheimer's disease. Families and seniors who have been affected by dementia receive support from the Local Office on Aging, as well as the Alzheimer's Association Central and Western Virginia Chapter.
To accommodate the needs of seniors with dementia who are no longer able to live at home, the Salem area has five memory care facilities, with two in the city proper and three more in the nearby cities of Roanoke and Daleville. These facilities are officially called "special care units" and may either be freestanding or located within an assisted living facility.
Salem-area memory care communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all memory care communities in Virginia are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in Virginia page for more information about these laws.
