We know it can be a struggle caring for a loved one with dementia.
Looking for the qualities that best meet the needs of your loved one can be challenging. In an effort to make the search for memory care a little easier, we created this short white paper resource to help anyone who is looking further into moving their loved one to a memory care community.
In this white paper we discuss the beginning steps of communicating with family about your loved one’s care diagnosis, legal affairs, types of care and a list of resources that may be helpful during your search for memory care.
Top five takeaways:
- Waiting too long to seek help may reduce the quality of life for both the caregiver and the person they are caring for.
- Not all senior living communities offer memory care. Be sure to clarify this need during your search.
- Before you commit to a method of payment, explore all of your possible payment options.
- Prepare a course of action before discussing memory care with your loved one.
- A memory care community can help provide peace of mind for your entire family.
