What Is Memory Care?
Memory care is a specialized type of care unit for those who are living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Memory care communities provide senior placement in a safe and secure environment where staff are able to closely monitor the health of their residents.
In memory care communities, you will find programs, activities, and a bunch of events that are specifically designed to ensure memory care residents continuously work on their cognitive abilities, whilst at the same time, still getting to enjoy all of their passions and hobbies in life.
Similar to assisted living facilities, the nurturing staff at memory care communities provide meals and assist residents with personal tasks if needs be. Highly trained staff are experienced, knowledgeable, and able to manage both common and challenging situations when it comes to their patients. You can have peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are in good hands with good company as staff check in with residents on a more regular basis, and provide additional structure and support to help them get through their day with a smile.
