What is a Memory Care Facility?
A memory care facility is a specialized assisted living environment specifically for people with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Sometimes, this unique level of care exists in a secure wing or floor of an assisted living or nursing home facility. There are a wide range of options within memory care facilities, depending on each resident’s specific needs.
Staff members at memory care facilities in the Dallas area are specially trained to care for people with memory impairment from diseases such as Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Characteristics of memory care facilities include:
- Secured areas to prevent the dangers of residents wandering or leaving the facility
- Specialized care for memory related medications
- Assistance with daily activities such as grooming, bathing, dressing and eating
- Long-term medical care specific to Alzheimer’s and dementia
