What are memory care facilities?

Memory care facilities are a special type of senior living for those living with early-stage Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. They are designed to provide independence and self-esteem through features ranging from activity stations to re-created towns with restaurants and shops. Residents enjoy the freedom of living on their own with the care, security, and support of a dedicated medical staff available around the clock.

Who is memory care assisted living for?

While family members may initially care for their loved ones suffering from memory loss, it becomes more difficult as symptoms progress. Here are questions provided by AssistedLiving.org to consider when deciding if transitioning someone into memory care assisted living is the right choice:

  • Is full-time supervision necessary?
  • Does the senior need assistance performing most or all of their activities of daily living?
  • Is the person able to communicate their wants and needs to family and friends?

What's the difference between memory care and skilled nursing care?

Memory care in a nursing home is a program of specialized care for seniors. It is centered around those who are suffering from cognitive decline due to Alzheimer’s or dementia. With the aid of licensed memory care staff, it is designed to reduce wandering and confusion while still allowing patients to live mostly independently in a home-like environment.

Skilled nursing is a high-level of care for both short- and long-term nursing home residents, but takes a more general approach. After a medical event like a stroke, bad fall, or medical procedure, patients need a safe place to recover. Skilled nursing facilities provide the highest form of care outside a hospital setting the patient needs in a safe environment.
