The Alzheimer’s Association has created a great new online tool. Called the Alzheimer’s Association Senior Housing Finder, consumers can search for senior housing communities that specialize in Alzheimers and dementia care. It is the first such tool available nationwide and features more than 65,000 providers.

The needs for these services are going to continue to grow as a person develops Alzheimers every 72 seconds. In fact, getting Alzheimer’s is one of baby boomers biggest concerns according to our Age Wave Study. It behooves senior housing organizations to complete a profile for this database and make their services known to people who are searching for them. Thank you to the Alzheimer’s Association for making this resource available.
