Memory care is specialized care for seniors living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia to ensure their safety and quality of life.
Tips & Links
- Memory care facilities offer a secure environment (to prevent wandering), specially trained staff, activities, medication management, assistance with all daily activities, meal support and feeding, emotional support and regular assessments. Family visiting is encouraged.
- Learn how families and caregivers can use memory care residences for short-term stays and respite care if they are caring for their loved one at home.
- Start planning early if you or your spouse are diagnosed with dementia. Consider the changes you are experiencing, aging in place, or exploring options for residential care.
- Question if your assisted living choices provide a campus of care, which means having other rooms onsite that provide memory care and 24 hour services.
