Frequently Asked Questions About Memory Care
What is the difference between assisted living and memory care?
Memory care provides support for activities of daily living similar to assisted living and skilled nursing, but it also offers specialized staff, memory-based programming, and a secure environment. Alzheimer’s and dementia care in a community setting often can reduce the incidences of emergencies, violent behavior and isolation in those with age-related dementia.
What signs might indicate that my loved one could benefit from Alzheimer’s and dementia care?
People with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia tend to forget things that just happened, have trouble making decisions, get confused by things they’ve seen and heard, and may have trouble sleeping. As the condition progresses, they may not recognize familiar people and places, and they may wander, get irritated easily or need help with activities of daily living, such as eating, dressing and bathing. A health care Physician can do tests to help determine whether your loved one has Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia.
How much does memory care cost?
Memory care costs vary based on services, residence type, and level of care needed. Long-term care insurance can help cover these expenses in most cases. Costs can also vary depending on the setting of memory care – in a senior living community with a continuum of care, or an individual dementia care or assisted living facility offering only select levels of care.
As a Life Plan Community, your entrance fee at Laurel Circle guarantees access to our full continuum of care, including memory care, at predictable costs that protect you from rising market rates.

What is the difference between memory care and a nursing home?
Memory care specializes in caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, featuring secure environments, specially trained staff, and homelike settings designed to support cognitive needs.
Nursing homes provide senior care for various health conditions in a more clinical environment, with 24-hour skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. Nursing homes typically provide semi-private memory care units and have a lower staff-to-patient ratio than residential memory care communities.
Memory care’s specialized approach often works better for those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, offering a less clinical setting focused specifically on cognitive and emotional support.
