Solano County is home to roughly 445,000 people, many of them living close to the border of Yolo County to the north. Just over 15 percent of Solano County's residents are seniors age 65 and over, and some of them living with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, advanced forms of Parkinson's disease or another form of dementia.
The county has 10 memory care facilities to care for seniors with dementia by providing room and board, full-time supervision from staff and assistance with the activities of daily living, such as personal care and taking some medications. As residential long-term care facilities, all memory care properties in the state are regulated and licensed by the California Department of Social Services Adult Care Licensing program.
