You may be asking yourself, “shouldn’t every approach to caring for those with memory loss be a positive one?” We think so, but this isn’t always the case.
Of the 30,000 or so assisted living facilities currently operating in the United States, some cater specifically to adults with cognitive deficits and may be labeled as memory care communities. These communities can offer better care for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia than a traditional assisted living community that doesn't specifically cater to the needs and desires of someone with memory loss.
As a loved one of someone living with dementia and memory loss, who wants to find the best possible care for them, learning how care providers are taught to support each person’s holistic needs and preferences in a memory care community can help you distinguish the differences in approach from community to community.
