If your loved one is living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, they may benefit from specialized Memory Care. Colorado Springs is the perfect location to find that specialized care. Though you may come across many senior care facilities, it’s best to understand what is offered so that you can make an informed decision.
Memory care offers specialized support for seniors with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. The environment in Memory Care communities is designed to be calming, soothing, and structured to be appropriate for their unique needs. The care offered is also much more specific.
Residents receive help with personal care tasks and dining needs from employees who are specially trained to manage the unique requirements of dementia or Alzheimer’s care. Programs, meals, and the environment are tailored to help residents feel secure, along with engaging activities that stimulate the brain. Associates also check in with residents more frequently and provide extra structure and support to help each of them navigate their day. This is a key difference between Assisted Living and Memory Care.
