Frequently Asked Questions
What is Memory Care for seniors?
Does Your Community Serve Seniors at All Stages of Memory Loss?
How can I decide between assisted living and memory care?
Assisted Living and Memory Care senior living communities provide many of the same services, including housing, meals, and help with bathing, grooming and other personal activities of daily living. However, Memory Care communities or neighborhoods specialize in caring for seniors with all stages of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. In Memory Care communities, environmental security is a key design feature.
To prevent wandering, Memory Care units are equipped with deterrents, such as locked entrances and exits, keypad entries, obscured exits, and doorbells signaling entering and exiting. To avoid injuries from falls, dementia care communities feature environmental designs that are safe to navigate and minimize confusion. In addition, they offer calming therapies in soothing spaces. This can help reduce agitation and confusion that can lead to aggression or self-injury.
Dementia care staff members, like those in Charter Senior Living of Hazel Crest’s Memory Care neighborhood, are also specially trained in care planning for those living with memory loss. The staff knows how to effectively prevent and manage dementia’s difficult behaviors. They also understand how to balance encouraging residents to stay as independent as possible while providing the support they need. Many Memory Care neighborhoods, including Charter’s, have a higher staff-to-resident ratio than Assisted Living, which allows for more one-on-one attention throughout the day.
