The best memory care setting or facility can be one of the most challenging types of care to find for seniors. In part this is because the way that memory issues manifest can vary dramatically from person to person, and also because it is hard to predict the future and how rapidly memory loss, dementia, or Alzheimer’s will impact someone.
Fortunately, there is a wide range of memory care options available in the Denver metro area, ranging from residential care homes that integrate memory support into their daily care to secured memory care wings, buildings, or facilities.
The key to selecting the best memory care setting is to plan for today…and tomorrow. In the early stages of memory loss, you (or your loved one) might not require much day-to-day support. But by the advanced stages of memory loss, dementia, or Alzheimer’s, you could need the highest level of care, supervision, and security. Fortunately, many facilities in the Denver metro area understand this and offer increased levels of care for seniors as their memories and cognitive abilities deteriorate.
In general, here is what might be included in memory care in the Denver area:
- 3 meals per day, plus snacks
- assistance with eating / feeding
- assistance with dressing, grooming, and bathing
- assistance with using the toilet (reminders and supervision)
