In conjunction with Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, Minneapolis-based Ebenezer Society has opened its new memory care addition at Ebenezer Ridges in Burnsville, Minn. Built by Kraus-Anderson Construction, the new addition for the first time brings memory care residences to the campus, which currently provides independent and assisted living, as well as skilled nursing care, transitional care and adult day and child care.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, an estimated 5.2 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease in 2013. By 2025, the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer’s disease is estimated to reach 7.1 million — a 40 percent increase from those currently affected.
