2 Memory Care Facilities near Marysville, WA

According to the Alzheimer's Association, the rate of Alzheimer's is increasing in Washington. Currently, about 110,000 seniors in the state have Alzheimer's, and it's projected that the number of diagnosed cases will increase by more than 25 percent in the coming years. In Marysville, the senior community comprises more than 12 percent of the population of 69,000.

To accommodate local seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia, the Marysville area has two memory care facilities. One of these facilities is located in the city proper, and the other is in nearby Everett. In Washington, memory care facilities may be located within assisted living facilities that specialize in caring for those with dementia.
