Granite Bay, CA, is an upscale residential suburban community in the northeastern Sacramento-Roseville metro area. Around 16.6 percent of Granite Bay's 20,000 people are seniors age 65 and over, many of whom are living with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, advanced Parkinson's disease or another type of dementia that requires full-time care and supervision.
To accommodate local seniors with dementia, Granite Bay has 27 memory care facilities inside its area limits, with many more in neighboring Roseville, Citrus Heights and Folsom, CA. Memory care facilities are often located on or close to assisted living communities in their network, though staff training requirements are different at each type of property.
