The Challenges of Being a Caregiver for a Family Member with Dementia

A lot of emotions may come up when you notice changes in your loved one’s cognitive abilities. Processing these emotions while determining what’s best for your loved one’s health puts a lot on your plate.

What Is Memory Care?

Memory care communities offer a curated, structured environment personalized to each resident’s needs. These communities include more safety measures than other types of senior living communities, helping each resident feel secure and offering their families reassurance.

Memory Care Means Safety and Security for Your Family Member

A crucial aspect of a memory care community is its willingness and ability to keep residents safe. Safety is one of the top priorities in memory care for family members and team members alike—not to mention that most of the safety features these communities offer are often not available or accessible to seniors living at home in a private residence. This includes:

  • A secure, controlled environment
  • Close monitoring and regular check-ins
  • Personalized care plans
  • Formal emergency response systems
  • Structured, purpose-driven activities
  • Specially trained staff
  • Medication management

Our Living TRUE℠ philosophy ensures all programming is not only fun but also purposeful and person-centered. Our specialized trainings are recognized by the Alzheimer’s Association® for incorporating evidence-based dementia care practice recommendations in various areas. Our Life Enrichment Directors are offered a 90-hour National Activity Professional Certification through NCCAP.

Financial Planning: What Does Memory Care Cost?

Memory care isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. The care your family member receives is tailored to their unique needs and diagnosis, and our flexible pricing model can accommodate your family member to give them the exact services they need and deserve.

Offsetting the Cost of Memory Care

Although the cost of a memory care community can seem confusing, remember that these highly specialized environments provide services to support cognitive function that you may not be equipped to deliver at home. You can offset the costs of memory care in several ways, including:

  • Veterans' benefits
  • Social Security and disability benefits
  • Selling a home
  • Retirement savings
