What Exactly is Memory Care?

Memory Care is one of the specialized level of assisted living and  care for older adults/seniors suffering from Alzheimer’s, Dementia, or other memory-related illnesses. Residents live in a living assisted living community on-site, where they have 24-hour care and access to a variety of senior care options. In a memory care memory community, we care for our seniors whether they require routine access to healthcare professionals, assistance with daily activities such as bathing and transferring, or both. We provide better alzheimer’s care, dementia care and care for other memory related illnesses.

Access to staff that care is where the true value of Alexi Senior Living is found. Our memory care residents receive one of a kind additional assistance and nursing care with a variety of tasks from specialized caregivers. These healthcare workers keep an eye on our dementia assisted living seniors well-being and work to keep them healthy.

Our memory care services cover everything from skilled nursing to activities of daily living (ADLs) – whatever is required to keep a safe and secure living environment. However, not all of the residents are the same.  Alexi Senior Living  tailor’s it’s memory care services to your loved one’s specific requirements.

What is Alzheimers ?

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive state neurologic disorder that causes the brain to shrink (atrophy), as well as the death of brain cells, as the Alzheimer’s disease advances and proper care is required. When it comes to dementia, Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause. The term Dementia is defined as a progressive decline in thinking, behavioural, and social skills that significantly impairs a person’s ability to function independently.

Memory loss and other important mental functions are destroyed as a result of Alzheimer’s disease. The connections between brain cells, as well as the cells themselves, degenerate and die, eventually destroying memory and other critical mental functions during Alzheimer’s and require additional care.

The most noticeable symptoms of Alzheimer’s are confusion and memory loss. Although there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s, medication, care and management strategies may be able to temporarily alleviate symptoms of Alzheimer’s.

Is Memory Care More Expensive Than Assisted Living?

Our Memory Care Community

  • Encourages independence and self-expression for each senior that require special care.
  • Provides a framework for memory retention.
  • Makes certain that each resident’s healthcare and long-term care needs are met.
 

Most importantly, our staff strives to improve and maintain the quality of care and assisted living life to the greatest extent possible. We are completely committed to this goal. Our staff makes certain that each senior receives round-the-clock attention, hands-on senior care, proper nursing and continuous access to fun social events in our assisted living nursing home care.
