If everyone with dementia went to such a facility then we would need ~30,000 of them in the US. However, most people with dementia either don’t need such extreme care or have more severe medical issues, so the real number is probably a several hundred such facilities.

To compare, there are about 4,000 Walmarts in the USA. Each employs about 300 people.
