Finding The Best Memory Care Facilities Near Me

What is memory care

Memory care is specialized assisted living that addresses the changing needs of those with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias. Senior living communities are licensed by the Department of Social Services as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly to provide a secure environment to ensure that residents remain safe. Caregivers are specially trained to care for those with memory loss and days are structured to provide familiar routines.

What services do memory care facilities provide?

Residential memory care provides living accommodations, meals and care for the residents. In addition, caregiving staff can assist residents with activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, dressing, etc. Medication administration can also be a service offered.

How do you know if you or a loved one need memory care?

Moving a loved one to a memory care community is an individual decision. Many families delay placement believing that staying at home is the best option. But communities such as ActivCare are specially designed for those with memory loss. The homelike communities have a secure perimeter which allows the residents to move freely within the community, without a fear of wandering and not being able to return. ActivCare offers a robust activity program that engages the residents and is tailored for success. Residents exercise physical, cognitive, creative, and social skills daily. Meaningful activities provide variety and purpose.

Memory Care vs Assisted Living

Memory care is specialized care licensed under Assisted Living in the State of California. Memory care provides a secure perimeter which deters wandering. Memory care is staffed by those who receive specialized training to understand dementia and care needs. At ActivCare, all we do is memory care. Our communities are designed and built for residents with dementia. They offer easy way-finding, a warm and homey environment, easy-access courtyards for meandering, and are staffed with caregivers who are professional training in dementia care.

Those with dementia who live in a non-specialized, Assisted Living community often feel lost or left out of activities. The needs of those with dementia require prompting and cueing that is not always available in Assisted Living communities.

Memory Care vs Skilled Nursing Care

Memory care communities are residential in nature. They are designed for living. Skilled nursing facilities follow a clinical model to administer nursing care efficiently. The clinical nature of a skilled nursing facility does not offer the same comfort of home that residential memory care can offer.

How much does Memory Care Cost?

This is typically the first question that we receive when families call. We have an easy-to-understand inclusive pricing model based on level of care and accommodation type, not based on points. Prior to move-in, each resident is assessed on their health and care needs, at which time the level of care is determined. An accommodation type within that level of care will determine monthly rent which includes care, activities and meals. The fee for incontinence care and supplies is separate.

Does Medicaid or Medicare pay for memory care?

Memory care is long-term residential care and not covered by Medicare or Medicaid (Medi-Cal); which are government-issued health care insurances. ActivCare is a private-pay provider, paid by the resident or family members. Residency at our communities is covered by some long-term insurance programs.
