1996年的一项横断面研究检查了阿尔茨海默病患者的护理费用，该研究的数据用于估计可能导致的潜在成本节约，即通过用辅助生活替代养老院护理AD居民的健康状况，这些健康状况似乎可以在专门从事痴呆症护理的辅助生活设施内进行管理。结果表明，高达13.9%的养老院的成本可以节省，这样的服务替代提供住宿照顾的某些类别的AD患者的一个有吸引力的选择。
Data from a 1996 cross-sectional study examining the costs of care for Alzheimer's Disease patients are used to estimate the potential cost savings that could result by substituting assisted living for nursing home care for AD residents with health profiles that appear to be manageable within assisted living facilities that specialize in dementia care. Results indicate that up to 13.9% of nursing home costs could be saved, making such a service substitution an attractive alternative in the provision of residential care for certain categories of AD patients.
