Freehold is one of several Monmouth County towns with a significant number of residents aged 65 and older living with Alzheimer’s disease. In fact, it is estimated that 11.4% of Monmouth County’s 65+ population has Alzheimer’s disease. This means that about 13,200 people have Alzheimer’s in Monmouth County, some of which are in Freehold, NJ.
