The town of Danville, California, is an upscale suburban community of 44,000 people in the east San Francisco Bay Area. Just under 17 percent of the town's population are seniors, aged 65 and over, many of whom have some form of dementia such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or Huntington's disease.

Danville has 24 memory care facilities within and close to its borders, where seniors are protected by a safe and supportive environment with staff who can help them follow their doctors' care plans. Memory care facilities are regulated by the California State Department of Social Services Adult Care Licensing Program, which inspects and reports on conditions in memory care, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities throughout the state.
