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 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 daily activities 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.
