Our team has helped 500+ seniors make the transition to memory care.
That’s why we understand that each person’s journey with dementia is distinct, and finding the right support is crucial. Our focus is on facilitating placements in memory care communities that provide round-the-clock care and supervision, secure environments, and staff trained specifically in dementia care.
What Is Memory Care?
Memory care is a specialized type of long-term care designed to meet the unique needs of individuals diagnosed with dementia, including Alzheimer’s Disease, Vascular Dementia, Parkinson’s Disease Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), Lewy Body Dementia (LBD), and other cognitive impairments
Benefits of Memory Care
As dementia progresses, many elderly adults find it increasingly challenging to live independently. For families unable to take on the caregiver role—an endeavor that can quickly become overwhelming—memory care presents an excellent solution. It not only addresses the needs of seniors with dementia but also provides families with reassurance that their loved ones are in a secure and nurturing environment.
Our Approach to Memory Care
At Care Connect, we believe that advocacy and education are vital in helping seniors with dementia and their families navigate this challenging journey. By providing resources and information, we empower families to make informed decisions about their loved ones’ care. We emphasize the importance of finding a therapeutic environment that caters to the unique needs of each individual, allowing seniors to thrive despite their cognitive challenges.
Our comprehensive assessment process ensures that we understand each family’s specific situation, allowing us to match them with memory care facilities that align with their requirements. We are committed to guiding families every step of the way, providing personalized support throughout the placement process.
