What is Memory Care?
Memory care is a specialized type of long-term senior care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of progressive-degenerative dementia. Like assisted living, memory care assists with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, but also offers a specific type of compassionate care that is specially designed for those suffering from memory impairment.
Benefits of Memory Care
At The Meadows, we understand how difficult it can be to remove your loved one from everything they are familiar with and place them into a brand new environment. This transition can take an emotional toll not only on the patient but on the entire family as well.
