Waukesha is a large city in southeastern Wisconsin with about 70,000 residents, 13.3% of whom are aged 65 and over. Despite the city’s relatively small senior community, Alzheimer’s has had a profound impact on public health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that between 2016 and 2022, the total number of deaths in the region increased by about 28%. However, deaths linked to Alzheimer’s increased in frequency by 44%. At the beginning of this reporting period, 7.2% of deaths in the county were related to this disease, compared to 8.2% in 2020.
While there's currently no cure for Alzheimer's, many seniors enjoy an enriching lifestyle in residential memory care facilities. These facilities have specially trained caregivers who provide reassurance and administer personal care services according to individualized care plans. Residents can enjoy daily meals with dementia-friendly accommodations and participate in a variety of therapeutic activities.Â
This guide provides more information on memory care in Waukesha, including details on how much this type of care costs and the benefits and drawbacks of moving to this city for care.
