Dementia develops and advances distinctly for different individuals, rendering it hard to determine when to engage in residential home nursing care for your parent. Elder suffering from early dementia may only need short-term care, whereas others require regular maintenance. Here are some ways your aging parent’s needs are met in memory care.

Extended Care Retirement Communities
Providing clinical treatments for memory care, extended memory care communities treat dementia patients at different stages of dementia advancement. As the patient requires advanced care, they get moved to wards of memory care communities offering advanced nursing care.
The significant advantage of residing in memory care communities is that their spouses may live with the elder over early-stage onset and stay within the independent living wards even as the patient gets admitted to a more advanced memory care ward.
Memory Care Communities
Upon the dementia patient reaching the point that they cannot further function independently and require more assistance and memory care than an elder daycare program or elder home may offer, memory care communities provide full-time nursing treatment, with all amenities needed medically to cater to dementia care progression.
Memory care communities often provide many memory care exercise options and interactive events. In contrast, if the patient’s condition declines more, memory care communities have amenities to offer high standards of nursing care.
Memory Care Wards
Most memory care communities provide specialized memory care units for patients with dementia that cover nursing care and occupational or physical therapy on demand and team members specifically trained to look after patients with dementia.
Memory care units may provide specialized exercises specially designed for memory care patients, offering socializing activities like dances, board games, making arts and crafts, playing music, and more.
