What Does Memory Care Do for Seniors?
Memory care communities help keep residents living with dementia and Alzheimer’s safe. They provide varying levels of care to prevent isolation, fear, and confusion. These assisted living communities provide residents with a balance between independence and care. Residents don’t have to worry about cooking, cleaning, laundry, or home maintenance. This provides them with more time to socialize and spend time with their community. Residents enjoy their own apartment space close to other residents. With 24-7 care, residents and their families know that help will be available when necessary. Memory care programs provide safe indoor and outdoor spaces for residents to enjoy without worrying they will get lost or endanger themselves or others. An assisted living community can help with changes in mobility, administering medication, and ensuring residents get the nutrition support they need through on-site dining.Â
Signs Your Loved One Needs Memory Care
If you’re not sure your loved one needs memory care, ask yourself the following questions:
Has their behavior changed?
- Are they able to care for their daily needs?
- Is their home, pets, personal hygiene neglected?
- Are they experiencing confusion?
- Are they getting lost?
- Is their physical health declining
While changes in memory are common as we age, the above signs mean your loved one may need more specialized care. Dementia and Alzheimer’s can cause people to endanger themselves and others, especially if they still drive. For many people receiving memory care at home, the death of a spouse and changes in physical needs are often signs that it’s time to seek specialized memory care.Â
Benefits of Affordable Memory CareÂ
Memory care can ease stress for seniors and their loved ones. Without worrying about daily chores and home maintenance, seniors in memory care have more time to socialize and engage. Staying engaged keeps those in memory care in better health than those who live in isolation. Knowing their loved one is safe and receiving professional care can ease the stress of loved ones. Communities like Westminster Place can ease the stress for families transitioning into memory care.Â
