How Many Assisted Living Facilities In The United States Have Separate Alzheimer’s Special Care Units?
Alzheimer’s special care units are pretty new and I can’t find statistics on how many exist in assisted living communities, not in nursing homes.

According to the National Alzheimer’s Association, statistical data such as that you’re seeking isn’t really maintained at a national level. Each state has its own HQ, so unfortunately, the best way to get national data would be to contact the HQ for each state and use the data collected to extrapolate an aggregate number.
That said, there’s a national-level Alzheimer’s Association Library that was recommended by the director of public education at the National HQ. That library may maintain records from each state, so you could get the information you need from one source.
You can contact the Alzheimer’s Association Official Library at (312) 335-5767.
