Citrus County has 145,647 residents, including 35.9 percent, or more than 50,000 people, age 65 years or older, some of whom have dementia. It's estimated that about 5,100 citizens of Citrus County have Alzheimer's disease and need to receive supervised care. This need will continue in the future as The Alzheimer's Association believes the number of Florida residents with dementia will swell from 540,000 to 72,000 people by 2025.

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration licenses and regulates specialized extended congregate care facilities (ECCs). Citrus County has 2 ECCs, both of which are in the town of Lecanto.
