According to the Alzheimer’s Association, one out of every nine people over the age of 65 has Alzheimer’s disease. Caring for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s at home can be extremely difficult, but there are many Memory Care Communities that offer high quality for your loved ones.
For seniors who are Memory Impaired, it is important to have 24-hour support and structured programming to ensure both safety and quality of life, but also to enhance wellness.
Memory Care is the term used to describe the available senior housing options for people with dementia or Alzheimer’s.
Research shows that Memory Impaired seniors are happier and perform much better with others around engaging in specialized stimulated activities.
So, How Much Does It cost?
The average cost of Memory Care is roughly $5,000 per month. Memory Care costs range from $3,000 to $10,000+ per month depending on location and other factors.
Generally, Memory Care residents live in semi-private apartments and participate in structured activities delivered by trained staff members. Employees in these communities cherish their work, and it shines through the care they provide.
These living environments are secured, meaning they maintain locked areas to ensure resident safety. Many times within the secured areas, residents have access to outdoor walking paths or gardens.
