Known for its elaborate architecture and beautiful gardens, Redlands is a small city that's part of the greater Los Angeles area in San Bernadino County, California. Nearly 15 percent of Redlands' 71,500 residents are over the age of 65, and while many live independently, there are some who require specialized memory care and treatment for dementia disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease. There are nearly 20 residential memory care facilities in the Redlands area that seniors and their loved ones can choose from, with two located right in the city and several more in nearby places such as Grand Terrace, Loma Linda and San Diego.Â
Many memory care facilities in the area share a community with assisted living facilities. This is possible because state regulations for both levels of care are similar. Facilities that provide memory care or assisted living services are officially known as residential care facilities throughout California.Â
