Aging is a natural part of life. For some people, this involves changes to their health and abilities to live independently. Those who struggle with memory issues need to have close supervision and a structured routine that is hard for family members to provide. Their needs might be best met in a setting outside of the home. Knowing the memory care option and its unique advantages will help make the process easier. Read on to learn about the powerful benefits of memory care for your loved one!
A Specialized Care Environment
Declining cognition can make even simple tasks such as dressing and brushing teeth become difficult and frustrating. This can lead to anxiety and confusion. In a smaller and more well-controlled environment, people might find these tasks easier. Especially when there are specially trained caregivers who can provide them with help. Memory care settings bring out the interests and preferences of every resident, tailored into activities that feel familiar and help give them a sense of achievement and purpose in life.
24-Hour Team With Advanced Training
Knowing that specially trained team members are always available for your loved one will bring you peace of mind. Whether they need help with bathing, getting dressed, medication monitoring, activities, assistance with dining or simply having a friend around, the team in memory care will be there to meet their needs.
Improved Wellness
While there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, people who live in communities with memory care will enjoy a higher quality of life. This includes fewer falls, injuries, and hospital visits. They also get to have increased nutrition, greater independence, better wellness and more social interaction.
Socialization
One of the main advantages of memory care is to help facilitate interaction and socialization. This is done by encouraging residents to chat, enjoy hobbies or play games together. People with dementia tend to isolate, and lack of social interaction leads to greater memory impairment. So, having increased social interactions will help those with memory care conditions enjoy a better quality of life and improved mood overall.
Be Around Family
We all wish to be around family the most and receive care from them. But it is tough to meet the needs of someone who has memory issues. Moving a loved one into a community with memory care offers families the chance to just be who they are and not a caregiver. This can actually be a welcome relief for individuals with dementia and their family members.
