Don't Do it Alone.
Find the right memory care facility for your loved one!

Memory care facilities have on-site staff at all hours to provide supervision and assistance. This ensures that each resident always has access to care from trained professionals.

Memory care communities often require specialized training for their staff members on how to interact with residents and use reassuring communication strategies that address dementia-related behaviors, such as confusion and agitation. 

Memory care facilities can offer on-site medical therapies, including physical, speech, and occupational therapy. Some communities also offer a variety of non-medical therapies on-site to promote well-being, such as: pet therapy, music therapy, scent therapy, and reminiscence therapy.

Memory care communities commonly offer a calendar with scheduled activities that keep residents engaged throughout each day. These calendars can feature a variety of tailored activities based on residents’ interests, including games, classes, live entertainment, and social events.

People typically need more medications as they age, and seniors with dementia may have difficulty managing their med regimens due to forgetfulness or confusion. Memory care facilities help residents manage their med regimens through reminders and administration, but medication management programs can differ from facility to facility.

Memory care staff create working knowledge of residents’ current health conditions through regular check-ins, assisting with activities of daily living, and scheduling medical appointments on residents’ behalf. Communities often have connections with nearby health care providers, and can communicate next steps with residents’ family members.

Memory care facilities offer on-site dining programs that are designed to meet residents’ dietary needs and preferences. Some communities also serve and prepare meals in ways that promote mealtime independence. This can include serving sides and entrées one at a time, preparing meals that are easy to chew and swallow, and offering finger foods for residents who struggle with utensils.

As dementia progresses, seniors will likely need assistance with one or more activities of daily living (ADLs), which include tasks such as eating, bathing, toileting, and moving about. Memory care staff are trained to assist with ADLs based on each resident’s abilities.
