Memory Care
What is memory care? Memory care, sometimes referred to as Alzheimer’s care, is typically an assisted living or residential care setting that is designed specifically to care for those with Alzheimer’s or other dementias. Any type of dementia (and there are over 70 known types) requires special care and understanding from the caregiver.
Memory Care settings may provide physical and emotional relief as well as peace of mind for families with a memory-impaired loved one. Memory care staff members undergo dementia-specific training when learning how to provide assistance services to elders with dementia.
Benefits of a community-based memory care setting include:
- Buildings secured with keypad entry to minimize risk of wandering
- Secured kitchen areas to minimize risk of cooking hazards
- Regular human interaction and programs to engage the memory-impaired individual in daily life, minimizing withdrawal
- Diet and exercise monitoring
- Elder well-being monitoring and communication with family and health care providers
- Freedom from caring for a loved ones daily needs, so families can focus on spending quality and joyful times with the individual
