What is Memory Care?

Memory care is a specialized form of senior living dedicated to individuals with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and other forms of memory impairment. Unlike traditional nursing homes, which cater to a broader range of medical needs, memory care facilities are specifically designed and staffed to meet the unique challenges and requirements of residents with cognitive decline. Our memory care units are structured to provide a safe, secure, and engaging environment. We utilize strategies such as "step into their reality" and "tap into residual memories" to connect with residents and enhance their daily experiences.

What is Memory Care?

Nearly 50% of older adults living in long-term care centers suffer from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. For the families living with a loved one with dementia, they usually have to choose between a nursing home or memory care. What sets the two apart is that nursing homes are meant for people with just about any medical ailment that makes it difficult to stay at home unattended.

Memory care, on the other hand, is strictly dedicated to taking care of people with dementia. Memory care facilities are structured to serve the needs of residents with dementia and usually work within care units of care centers. Some memory care facilities are highly secure while others are less strict when it comes to access.

If you have an elderly loved one experiencing difficulties with their memory which are preventing them from performing daily living activities such as bathing, eating, dressing, walking, and self-administering medicine, then you should probably consider transferring them to a memory care unit. Below is important information that could help you make a more informed decision concerning memory care facilities, what services they offer, and how further they differ from nursing homes.

The goal is to provide comfort, support, and a high quality of life for those living with memory loss. If your elderly loved one is experiencing difficulties with memory that impact their daily living activities—such as bathing, eating, dressing, walking, or managing medications—then a memory care unit may be the ideal solution. We offer comprehensive information to help you make an informed decision about memory care facilities, their services, and how they differ from nursing homes.

Below is a comprehensive breakdown of dementia, nursing home care provision, the different types of care homes available, and tips to follow when choosing a special care facility for a loved one.

Understanding Memory Care

Memory care services offer distinct advantages for individuals with dementia compared to general nursing home care. While nursing homes serve a broad elderly population, memory care centers are specifically equipped to address the complexities of cognitive decline. Memory care centers are designed with features that support residents with dementia, such as easily navigable layouts and secure environments.

Staff members are available around the clock to provide attentive supervision and assistance. Our approach focuses on creating a therapeutic environment that can help reduce agitation, improve social interaction, decrease falls, and minimize the need for certain medications.

Benefits of Memory Care Centers vs. Nursing Homes

Understanding the Differences:

Specialized Care: Memory care is exclusively for individuals with dementia, Alzheimer's, and other memory impairments, offering a more comprehensive and tailored approach.

Environment: Memory care centers often feature secure, easy-to-navigate spaces with calming aesthetics, such as brightly colored walls and ample natural light, which are beneficial for residents with dementia.

Staff Training: Staff in memory care units receive specialized training in dementia care, focusing on patience, communication techniques, and managing dementia-related behaviors like wandering or agitation.

Activities: Memory care programs incorporate activities known to benefit cognitive health, such as music therapy and supervised outdoor walks, which may not be as readily available or adapted in traditional nursing homes.

When to Consider a Nursing Home:

A nursing home might be considered if a loved one has significant medical conditions beyond dementia that require intensive, round-the-clock medical care. Some states have regulations that may limit nursing home admissions for individuals with complex medical needs, making memory care centers a more suitable option when possible. Many families find it beneficial to choose a nursing home that also offers a dedicated memory care unit, allowing for a smoother transition if the resident's needs evolve.

Nursing Homes for People with Dementia

The services offered in a nursing home are not strictly designed for people with dementia as compared to memory care centers. You’ll find that the services offered by nursing homes are structured for the general elderly staying within their residential premises.

For instance, some nursing homes accommodate certain activities that someone with dementia might find frustrating such as cooking or going for walk whereas memory care units might have centers solely dedicated to that purpose. However, there are nursing homes that provide services accommodative of people with moderate dementia.

Choosing the Right Memory Care Facility

Selecting a memory care facility is a significant decision. Consider factors such as the cost of services, the facility's accreditation, its location, and the specific range of care and activities offered. We encourage you to visit our facility to experience firsthand the compassionate care and supportive environment we provide. Our team is dedicated to understanding and responding to the unique needs of each resident, ensuring they receive the highest quality of care and attention.
