New Richmond is home to nearly 9,000 residents, 12 percent of whom are seniors aged 65 or older. Many seniors in the area have been diagnosed with some form of dementia such as Huntington's Disease or Alzheimer's Disease, which affects an estimated 110,000 seniors throughout Wisconsin.

Seniors with dementia who require specialized support and assistance with their daily activities can receive such care in one of the area's two memory care facilities. These facilities are subject to a similar set of rules and regulations as assisted living facilities and as such, both levels of care fall under the same classification throughout the state. All assisted living and memory care facilities in Wisconsin are monitored by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
