Memory Care is a special kind of care for your loved one living with middle to late stage Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. These communities are often an appropriate step to providing additional care for your family member who is currently in an assisted living environment. Memory Care Communities provide the same general services as Assisted Living communities but feature physical layouts, specialized services and dedicated programs to minimize wandering and delay dementia progression.

Many assisted living communities have memory care units, but assisted living care and memory care are not the same. In addition to ensuring the safety of their residents, the main objective of memory care communities is to slow the progression of memory loss and minimize the challenges associated with dementia. Memory Care Communities usually have much fewer residents than assisted living communities. The staff’s training in a memory care unit are also more comprehensive and detailed. Cognitive decline does not have to mean a lesser quality of life.
