Finding quality dementia care often takes a little more time than finding a traditional assisted living community because of how complex the disease can be. Knowing what to pay attention to and what to ask when you are visiting a Memory Care program in a north Texas assisted living community can make a difference in finding the right community.
With that in mind, we have seven tips we think will be helpful: [Read more…]
There are many options for elder care around the Plano area. As people begin their search for a facility right for their loved ones, they’re faced with many questions. How do you know which one is right for your loved one? How can you trust that the facility will provide the proper care? How do you assess which elder care option is the best fit? More people than ever are tackling these questions. According to the Administration on Aging, the older population – persons 65 years or older—numbered 41.4 million in 2011. The number of older Americans increased by 6.3 million or 18% since 2000, compared to an increase of 9.4% for the under-65 population.
As the elderly population grows, so does the number of facilities available to provide care for them. Here in the Plano area, you have a source that can help you navigate through the many challenges of finding a facility for your loved one. In 2008, I was faced with this same issue as my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. That experience inspired me to create a FREE service to help other families, just like I helped Mary, below. Contact me today to get your free guide.
After being recommended by their physician, my parents met Paul Markowitz at their Independent Living Facility and shared his information with me. When the time came for my mom and I to make decisions for my dad, Paul gave us invaluable information and answered so many questions that we had during such an emotional time. I am an only child and his compassion towards the elder care industry and also to my parents made me feel like he was part of the family. It can be overwhelming with lists of places and Paul made the selection process manageable and quick in finding just the right place. His help was so much more personalized.
I already have referred people to Senior Living Specialists and highly recommend anyone in this situation to engage your services. Thank you so very much for caring and guidance. I am forever grateful.

No one wants to give up their independence. As people get older, though, handling the tasks of everyday living on their own can become a challenge. For some, they may need just a little support. Others who may have physical disabilities, significant health issues, or early signs of dementia that make living alone unsafe. As seniors face the need for assistance, many struggle with the idea of giving up their independence. In the DFW area, senior living facilities offer a wide variety of services to help seniors maintain their independence while still getting the care they need.
