Until then: About Memory Care What is memory care? An Alzheimer’s & Dementia Memory Care Community is for people with middle to late stage memory conditions. Often located in larger “assisted living” type of communities or in smaller residential settings, memory care facilities Nationwide and communities specialize in special needs care and may also have the actual building set up to enhance memory functions and to decrease potential confusion for memory care residents. Activities focused on memory recall from past experiences are usually the staple of activities in these settings. People who are appropriate for this setting are usually those that are already residing in a assisted living environment who has begun forgetting how to perform daily activities of life or who have been getting lost, wandering or going in other people’s rooms thinking it was their own.

Why choose in-home care instead of a memory care unit? Memory care units provide 24/7 supervision and easy access to nursing care, but many seniors fear having to downsize and losing their independence. Dementia home care can fill the gap between full independence and moving to a memory care unit. Home care provides one-on-one care while maintaining a safe environment in a home that is familiar to clients. Interested in learning more about at-home dementia care services?

There are about 2,000 people in my 55 and older community. There are a few over-55 communities around us. One has 2,800 homes which average about 5,600 community members. Add in a couple of more communities with 1,000 homes each. What do you get? About 11,000 people. Across the country, 11,000 people are turning 65 this year. And it will continue through 2027. Where will they go next? Assisted living, long-term care, Alzheimer's/dementia care, nursing homes, or hospice care. Our country does not currently have the bandwidth to take care of our seniors. My goal is to help seniors age in place in their home. To do to this we need to: Make the home "user" friendly by making sure the bathrooms are handicap accessible. Remove hazards that might cause a fall. Upgrade electrical if needed to prevent fires. Please let me know how YOU think we can do better for our seniors!

Visionary Leader, Scholar, Consultant, and Public Speaker
The US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently finalized a rule establishing the first minimum staffing requirements for nursing homes after an earlier version was proposed last September. The new rule will “hold nursing homes accountable for providing safe and high-quality care” for the 1.2 million people who are cared for in Medicare- and Medicaid-certified long-term care facilities, the agency announced. https://lnkd.in/gYF2fy_X Nursing homes will now need to have enough staff to provide 3.48 hours a day of care for each resident, with registered nurses providing around half an hour of that care. The rule also mandates that nursing homes have a registered nurse on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. https://lnkd.in/gy7su4Zj When it comes to dementia care, finding the right living arrangement is crucial for the well-being and quality of life of individuals affected by these conditions. Residential care homes, also known as small-scale care homes, offer a unique and advantageous alternative to larger facilities. In this article, we explore the importance and advantages of choosing residential care homes over larger facilities for dementia care. https://lnkd.in/grUusR3m
