Memory Care

Do you have a family member with cognitive impairment, such as dementia or Alzheimer’s? Even if they may seem fine at one moment, they may not be the next, which is why care at all hours of the day is so important for their wellbeing. At Senior Living Experts, our professional advisors are ready to work with you and your family in finding the most valuable solution for your specific needs.

What is Memory Care?

Memory care communities are very similar to assisted living facilities, but with the inclusion of focused attention on memory-related disorders. These communities’ primary goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for your loved ones while instilling fulfillment in their daily activities.

From the moment they wake to when they fall asleep, residents are gently guided to the amenities of their choice. Memory care communities are specifically secured to prevent our residents from getting lost and wandering outside the property. With this added safety measure, they will be able to move around freely throughout dedicated open spaces.

Who Needs Memory Care?

To prevent injury or wandering away from home, we highly recommend memory care for those with a memory disorder, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. In the early stages and even for some in the middle stages, the average assisted living, or at-home care may be perfectly fine. However, as symptoms progress, a memory care facility provides the necessary amenities for your loved ones to live the most fulfilling and healthy life. If there is ever uncertainty, the professionals at Senior Living Experts can provide assistance and answer any questions you may have.

Based on an evaluation of the resident’s current condition, the memory care community of your choice will determine the appropriate level of care, which can easily transition as their needs continue to change. Following the Reisberg Scale, there are seven stages of dementia. Identifying the category your loved ones fall under will create a better understanding of how much care is required.
