What is Memory Care?
Memory care facilities provide specialized attention for seniors experiencing symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. It can also benefit any senior struggling with remembering important tasks and whereabouts necessary to care for oneself. The supportive environment is designed to enhance residents’ quality of life, preserve their sense of independence, and uphold their dignity.
Memory care candidates are in good physical health, but often need help with daily activities due to a sense of confusion. Seniors – and families – who opt for memory care usually maintain some autonomy, while receiving help with personal care in a secured environment.
Memory Care environments can be part of a larger Assisted Living community or be a specialized Memory Care only community that features 24-hour monitored hallways, decorative visual cues, and secured outdoor courtyards to encourage independence while keeping residents safe.
Memory care staff are specially trained to assist seniors with dementia or impaired cognition, and they monitor resident’s cognitive ability in order to provide the right care from one moment to the next. The facilities also offer extensive resources to help entire families learn to live richly and fully while coping with memory loss.
Compassionate Senior Solutions is a no-fee senior placement service that guides families through the difficult decision to move their loved one into the appropriate senior living environment.
