Nevada is home to over 3.1 million residents, and seniors aged 65 and older make up 16.1% of the state’s population. Unfortunately, an estimated 49,000 Nevada seniors live with Alzheimer’s disease, and close to 15% of state residents over the age of 45 are dealing with cognitive decline. By 2025, the number of seniors in Nevada diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease is projected to grow to 64,000, which is an estimated 30.6% increase. 

Thanks to the lack of state income tax and an abundance of senior-friendly recreational amenities, Nevada is a popular retirement destination for many older adults. In terms of health care services, there are a number of top-ranked regional hospitals, including the 159-bed Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center, and the Northern Nevada Medical Center, a certified Advanced Primary Stroke Center. Statewide, the average monthly cost of residential memory care services is $4,688, although actual rates vary depending on the location and facility.
