The growing issue of dementia care. Assisted Living Expenses cost twice as much as community care, nursing home and hospitals cost are five times as much. Here are some facts specific to our city. San francisco is a large number of older adults with no loved one living nearby. 40 have no relatives in the area. In 2008 there were 17,000 people 55 years and older with alzheimers disease in San Francisco. In 2015 there are 20,000. That is a 10 increase. If we take it out to 2030, theres going to be a 54 increase. So, taking into account the demographics of older adults living longer and the percentage of oldest old having cognitive decline, doss case managers will play an increasingly essential role of the older san franciscans remaining in the community. Increasing the doss Case Management is costeffective and fiscally responsible thing to do to beat the current and growing needs. Now is the time to encourage effective innovation of Case Management services not to continue flat spending.
