What is Memory Care?
People with Alzheimer’s or dementia have different care needs. Memory care meets these individual care needs by working to provide a safe and structured community for residents. In addition to receiving meals and assistance with personal care, residents also benefit from specialized support designed to help them thrive.
When is Time for Memory Care?
While many people can continue to live with the help of a family member or caregiver during the early stages of dementia, there may come a time when more care is needed. When looking for signs it’s time for memory care, the Alzheimer’s Association recommends asking the following questions to guide you in deciding if a move to a memory care community might be necessary:
- Are they becoming unsafe in their current living situation?
- Is the health of either your family member or their caregivers at risk?
- Are your family member’s care needs within the physical abilities of their caregivers?
- Are you or other caregivers feeling stressed, irritable or impatient?
- Is caring for your family member interfering with other responsibilities, such as work or family?
- Would they benefit from more structure and social engagement?
How to Talk to a Parent About Memory Care?
Conversations about memory care can be difficult — both for older adults and the people who love them. If you’ve decided that it might be time for your loved one to move to a memory care community, a conversation must first take place.
What is the essential first step? There should be agreement amongst family members. If everyone isn’t on the same page, a doctor, care provider, or credible professional source can offer valuable insights. An open and honest discussion is also critical. Older adults should feel like they’re part of the conversation and decision-making process.
In addition to having the right people, it’s also vital to have the conversation at the right time and place. An in-person discussion is best — either at home or in another setting where your family member feels comfortable. Because most people with cognitive impairments are sharper in the morning, this may be the best time to talk.
Above all else, try to put yourself in your parent’s shoes. They may be feeling many emotions, ranging from uncertainty and fear to sadness and anger. Your empathy and understanding will go a long way toward easing their concerns.
Lastly, make sure to focus on the benefits of memory care. Many older adults may have outdated misconceptions about senior living. Educating them about the many types of communities and the features and programs they offer can help them view the move to a memory care community in a more positive light.
What Memory Care Programs are Available?
Many communities offer a convenient monthly fee, where residents have access to various services and amenities, including chef-prepared meals; weekly housekeeping with laundry and linen service; help with activities of daily living; around-the-clock health monitoring; personalized wellness programs; social, educational and spiritual programming and events; concierge services; and 24-hour security.
Team members support every individual’s unique interests, experiences and needs. Based on these factors, a customized approach is created for each resident designed to honor their legacy and passion while simultaneously cultivating moments of joy. We realize that the physical, social, intellectual and spiritual elements of your life are all important. That’s why our custom senior living programs target every one of those elements.
Choosing a Memory Care Community
All memory care communities are different. Researching and asking the right questions can help you locate the community that best meets the needs of your loved one and family. Some considerations to guide your decision-making process include the following:
- Is the community conducive to the needs of individuals with memory impairments? In addition to cleanliness, circular hallways and clearly labeled rooms and doors can help community residents stay oriented.
- Are the team members pleasant, and do the residents appear happy? Is there a calendar of events and programs?
- Are there any enclosed outdoor areas for walking or other time in nature?
- What dementia-specific training do the team members have?
- Are there on-site medical personnel?
- Is continuing care available should they require more complex medical care?
