Is It Time for Memory Care for My Loved One?

Memory loss teaches us all to cherish every moment. – Matthew Edward Hall

Your parent, grandparent, or other loved one has always been a strong, constant force in your life. Maybe you grew up watching your mom bake elaborate recipes from memory each holiday season or you remember listening to your uncle sing along to every song on the radio because he remembered lyrics flawlessly. These types of moments have provided you a lifetime of cherished memories, which is why it’s so difficult to see your loved one begin to struggle with memory loss.

Caring for a loved one who is living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia is a very emotional, difficult role to take on. This is why memory care can be such a valuable solution. Memory care communities can help your loved one get the personalized care they need while still living a purposeful, engaged lifestyle.

What is a Memory Care Community?

Memory care is specialized care designed for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Memory care communities, like the one at Fellowship Senior Living, typically provide your loved one with a safe, secure environment where highly trained team members can closely monitor their health and provide care unique to their specific needs.

Memory care communities also provide your loved one with a range of activities, programs and events that are socially stimulating and can help slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Memory Care Community Features

Alzheimer’s disease and dementia don’t have to decrease your loved one’s quality of life. Joining a memory care community gives your loved one increased opportunity to live comfortably and do the things they enjoy for longer. Memory care communities can also provide family members and caregivers like yourself with peace of mind that your loved one is well cared for and thriving.

When your loved one joins Fellowship Senior Living’s memory care community, they can expect:

  • A safe and secure setting
  • A welcoming atmosphere
  • Person-centered care
  • Enriching activities
  • Highly trained team members
