Finding the Best in Memory Care

Checklist for Care Communities

When comparing memory care communities, there are a number of factors to consider, including the staff, the community, the programs, and the type of treatment residents receive. The best way to find the right memory care community for your loved one is to visit them. Watch the staff at work to ensure they are compassionate, respectful, and knowledgeable. Interact with current residents, observe how the caregivers interact with one another, talk to staff members and the director, and ask lots of questions.
