In San Diego County, there are approximately 100,000 residents with dementia and it’s estimated that 25% of them live alone. Known as “solo agers,” they may have an increased risk for injury or harm as a result of their symptoms. Seniors living alone with any form of memory loss may not have an adequate support system, and, especially during the holiday season, may be alone and vulnerable.
