ActivCare the Best Place for Your Loved Ones with Dementia

Learn what to expect from a memory care facility in the following areas:

Memory Care Community Environment
Residents Social Environment
Activities Plan for Dementia Patients

The 24/7 demands of caring for a loved one with dementia at home can be challenging. You may ask yourself, is there a better option?

When you finally conclude that you need to make a residential placement for a loved one with dementia, it is important to feel equipped to evaluate your options. During a tour, family members often treat the experience like shopping for real estate instead of considering the needs of their loved one.

To help you with your search for the right place for your loved one, we have identified three areas and six questions to ask a memory care community when touring:

1. Check Their Memory Care Environment

You may be impressed with the beautiful finishes and endless amenities. Your loved one with dementia, however, may experience trepidations or agitation in these types of overwhelming spaces.

Question #1: Will they be able to easily navigate the community?
Question #2: Is the assisted living environment safe for them to live in?

2. Residents Social Environment

During a tour, you may witness countless seniors in a lively social environment. Be sure to take the time to meet the residents with dementia and get to know future friends of your loved one.

Question #3: Will your loved one feel welcome?

3. Check Their Activities Plan for Dementia Patients

The right community is more than just a picture-perfect room. Ask about the routines of a typical day and see the community through your loved one’s eyes.
