Finding a memory care community that fits your loved one’s needs and makes them feel comfortable just got a lot easier! Look for these features in the residence you select:
PROGRAMS
Your loved one’s health and wellness are important to their quality of life. Look for a community that connects residents to music, gentle exercise and skill-appropriate activities—as well as nurtures their physical health.
LIGHTED WAYS
Communities should help residents stay sure-footed by softly lighting common areas, hallways and rooms. Courtyards also should be well lit for evening access if your parent has difficulty sleeping.
SELF-EXPLORATION
Many communities integrate points of interest that allow residents to independently interact with their environment. These can include everything from musical touch wall art to interactive stations that recreate familiar life situations.
SAFETY AND SECURITY
Your parent should always feel safe where they live. Look for a community that is centered around an interior courtyard that allows for secure, yet roam-friendly, surroundings.
SPECIALIZED STAFF
The staff in memory care communities should be specially trained to handle your parent’s needs at every stage of their illness. Many communities provide 24-hour supervised care so you’ll never have to worry about your loved one being without assistance.
