MEMORY CARE

Are you looking for a memory care facility? Here are some tips to help you find the right one.

About 70% of seniors will need some type of long-term care in their lives. These can include assisted living, memory care, and nursing homes. Because older adults can experience cognitive, physical and mental deterioration, they will struggle. Without medical expertise, caregivers may find it difficult to provide the necessary support for loved ones.

Residents with memory loss, Alzheimer’s Disease or other conditions will receive specialized care from nurses and team members in memory care communities and facilities.

Our memory care community residents will have the opportunity to receive hands-on assistance from trained caregivers and nurses, as well as activities that keep them busy and active.

There are a few things to consider when choosing a memory care community

There are many factors that could influence your decision to choose a memory care community in Myrtle Beach. Each provider will offer its own strengths and weaknesses. We have compiled four key areas that will help you narrow down your choices.

Make sure that everyone has experience with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Your chosen community should have the expertise and knowledge to care for people with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Memory loss progression is different from other conditions or issues that are associated with old age. It requires a skilled and knowledgeable team to address and alleviate symptoms.

Make sure you are clear about the relevant practicalities

This includes questions such as transportation options, medication management, living options and waiting lists, as well as certifications. You should do this before you begin to look at different options to ensure you have a complete list of everything your loved one needs to live a happy life. These are the essentials that your loved ones will need.

Book a Tour

Make sure you schedule a tour so that you can see the grounds before making a decision. Talk to residents and visiting family members when you visit the memory care community. Also, talk to any staff members who are there. If possible, make arrangements to visit their dining hall and learn about their activities as well as the health support they provide.

Are they suitable?

You or your loved one may have their own hobbies and interests. Therefore, it is important that the community supports their hobbies. If your loved one is interested in animals or has a pet, it’s important that the community offers pet therapy or pet-friendly services.
