We understand that, as much as you would like to take care of your loved one at home, it is not always possible. Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other memory issues are often progressive, with symptoms worsening over time.
When in the final stages, people with these conditions experience changes in their physical and cognitive abilities that require around-the-clock assistance from a caring professional. What’s more, staying at home may not offer the best quality of life for someone with memory issues.
At Diamondback Health and Memory Care, we understand the challenges and difficult decisions you and your family are facing. Knowing what to expect from a memory care facility can help ease the transition.
What Memory Care Means
Memory care is a specialized living environment for older adults who have Alzheimer’s disease or other memory issues. This type of long-term care features a safe and nurturing environment, and is staffed by caring professionals who undergo special training in memory care. Memory care also involves specialized programs that slow the progression of memory loss, preserve dignity, and improve the quality of life.
What to Expect from Memory Care
- 24-Hour Nursing Care
24-hour nursing care is the cornerstone of memory care – symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and other memory issues happen around the clock. - Therapeutic Interventions
While Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia are not curable, therapeutic interventions can slow disease progression and improve quality of life. Therapeutic interventions include memory and orientation exercises, support groups, music therapy and more.
