Think about the change in longevity-it didn’t come because we had a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, it’s because we already had treatments for heart disease and pneumonia. And they are living longer, thank God for that, because we’re doing the right things to help these people.

With people with Down syndrome, their age is so much younger, so almost the only pathology that really matters is the Alzheimer's disease pathology. We are hopeful that these homes will be replicated by other organizations throughout California and across the nation, alleviating some of the burdens of the 15.5 million caregivers who provided an estimated 17.7 billion hours of unpaid care, valued at more than $220 billion. Residents are selected based on an interest list of adults with developmental disabilities receiving services through the San Diego Regional Center. The Memory Care Homes, now affectionately known as Casa de Amor and Casa de Lauridsen, have a staff to resident ratio of 1:2 and include state-of-the-art technology, access to national research, and opportunities for residents to participate in groundbreaking new techniques to fight Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other aging struggles.

Most homes under Noah Homes management have a staff to resident ratio of approximately 1:4 and 1:6. homes for 20 people with developmental disabilities who were diagnosed with aging issues, Alzheimer’s, or another related dementia. To address the growing need, in 2017, Noah Homes opened two 5,000 sq.
