The Ins and Outs of Memory Care

Navigating Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care Options

Memory care is supportive living designed for those with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Providing specialized programming that focuses on cognitive function and assistance with day-to-day activities, memory care communities create safe and comfortable environments for those with memory care impairments. If you know someone who is living with Alzheimer’s or related dementia, know you are not alone. Memory care can offer you and your family much-needed support, education, and assistance.

A memory care community can positively impact the quality of life of an individual living with a form of dementia, as well as their family and friends. Residents receive the necessary care and support while having opportunities to participate in stimulating activities that foster independence, improve cognitive function, and create connections with others in the community. While families and friends gain peace of mind knowing that their loved one is receiving the compassionate care they need in a safe and secure environment.
