It’s a difficult statistic to face — by the time a person is 85 years of age, the odds of developing dementia are about one in two. If you’re already facing this reality, you know how hard it can be when you realize your aging loved one needs specialized care.
Dementia is a symptom of brain disease, such as Alzheimer’s Disease. While there are treatments to help the symptoms of dementia somewhat, there is no cure. Researchers also don’t have a clear answer on causes of dementia. For a family with a parent of other loved one with the disease, it’s a difficult diagnosis to face. Often, a specialized memory care facility is necessary to help keep the person safe.
At a memory care facility, residents receive care that is specially tailored for people with dementia or Alzheimer’s. Staff members are trained to not only provide help to the people who live there, but to their families as well. Medication schedules, assistance with daily tasks, and recreational activities all play a role in keeping your loved one happy and safe.

I understand, as I was faced with the issue of finding specialized care for my mother when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2008. With so many care facility options here in the Fort Worth area, it took a lot of research and investigation of my own to find the right place.
