Primrose Alzheimer’s Living may be a good fit for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or a related form of dementia who needs a secure, supervised setting, or for a family caregiver seeking short-term support.

A Walk Score of 48 places the area in a car-dependent setting where most errands require a car or a ride. That matters for residents who no longer drive.
