A move to memory care is often recommended when a loved one’s cognitive decline impacts their ability to manage daily living tasks safely, such as medication management or personal care, and requires specialized support.

Memory care facilities provide specialized care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Services include tailored daily activities, assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), medication management, and a secure environment designed to reduce stress and promote safety.

While Medicare does not typically cover the full cost of memory care, it may cover certain medical services or hospice care provided in a memory care setting. Alternative payment options, such as long-term care insurance, are often available to help pay for memory care.

The cost of memory care varies based on factors such as location, level of care required, and specific services offered. Contact us for personalized cost estimates and guidance on how to pay for memory care.

Memory care communities are equipped to support individuals with various forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Our team tailors care plans to meet the unique challenges associated with each type of dementia.

Memory care improves quality of life by providing a structured, secure environment with specialized activities, personal care, and emotional support. These tailored services help reduce anxiety, enhance daily functioning, and foster meaningful connections.

Assisted living focuses on helping residents with daily activities and maintaining independence, while memory care offers specialized support for individuals with cognitive impairments. Memory care communities provide secure spaces, dementia-specific activities, and staff trained in Alzheimer’s care.

When choosing a memory care facility, consider factors such as safety features, staff training, personalized care plans, the variety of activities offered, and the overall environment. Visiting the community and speaking with staff can help determine if it’s the right fit for your loved one.
