What is Memory Care?

Memory Care communities are for people who need assistance with their activities of daily living and are living with some degree of memory loss and forgetfulness.

Most communities require a diagnosis or exam to confirm. Memory care communities also host a variety of brain-engaging activities and entertainment options, dining options, and amenities designed to keep seniors safe. 

Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Memory Care Communities are for residents with middle to late stage memory conditions. These facilities can be located in larger assisted living types of communities or in smaller residential settings. These communities specialize in this special needs care and may also have the actual building set up to enhance memory functions and to decrease potential confusion for residents.

Activities focused on memory recall from past experiences are often the staple of activities in these settings.

Special licensing is required in certain states.
