Specialized Home Care for People with Alzheimer’s

Retirees flock to Florida due in large part to lower income tax and warmer temperatures. That also means Florida has a large number of people over the age of 65 with Alzheimer’s disease. Based on recent numbers, 510,000 out of the 5 million Americans that are living with Alzheimer’s live here in Florida.

Of the adults over the age of 65 receiving home health care, more than a third have some form of cognitive impairment. This puts a strain on finding qualified caregivers for people with dementia.
