| Alzheimer's (Dementia) Care |
|
Those with memory impairment require special care. Sometimes dementia can cause someone to wander, so any place that does have this type of care is secure. In addition, medication administration usually is built right into the cost. As the disease progresses, care needs can increase and residents need for reminders are provided. Most of these residences are specially designed to help cue the residents. For example, memory boxes filled with old photos are placed near the door to help guide residents to their rooms and to allow the staff to learn more about the residents’ history. The space is designed to help them live as independently as possible. Staff has been trained to deal specifically with the disease and involve residents in enjoyable daily activities and ones at which they can feel successful. Costs can range from $4,000 - $7,000 a month. Residents can share suites or have private studios. |
