Understanding Alzheimer’s Care in Princeton
Princeton is one of New Jersey’s most distinguished communities — home to Princeton University, the Institute for Advanced Study, and a vibrant population of academics, researchers, and retirees. Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center provides world-class medical care, including neurology, geriatric evaluation, and comprehensive stroke services. But when an Alzheimer’s diagnosis arrives, the daily management of the disease — wandering prevention, sundowning episodes, behavioral changes, personal hygiene — requires specialized in-home caregivers, not hospital visits.
The Alzheimer’s Association NJ Chapter reports that over 180,000 New Jersey residents live with Alzheimer’s disease. The National Institute on Aging describes it as a progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. For Princeton families, keeping a loved one at home in familiar surroundings — their own library, garden, neighborhood — is widely recognized as the preferred approach to reducing the disorientation that unfamiliar environments trigger.
