Memory care is a specialized form of care for older adults with some form of dementia or cognitive impairment, and is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the senior housing market.  Memory care can be provided in several different settings (e.g., adult residential care homes, assisted living communities, and skilled nursing facilities).  Staff usually have ongoing training so that they can provide specialized care to support these individuals with the different stages of memory loss.  This type of care is meant to help improve quality of life for older adults while keeping them in a safe and comfortable, lower stress setting.  Many of these communities provide services to manage impaired memory issues, such as ‘prone to wander’ conditions; these services may include: alarm doors and enclosed outer spaces.

Each memory care facility is different, offering different services and/or specializations. Contact CareSift for questions related to Memory Care, and if this is the right fit for your situation.
