It can be difficult to know when the right time is to put a parent or senior loved one in memory care. However, if a loved one is experiencing a lack of safety and security and an increase in wandering, then it may be the right time for a move to a memory care setting.
There are not many differences between assisted living and memory care, as both focus on caring for a senior resident’s activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, eating, medication management assistance, etc.). However, every aspect of memory care, from activities to the physical design of the community, is made with seniors with dementia in mind.
A few things to keep in mind when looking at memory care facilities include the level of care provided, the type of training staff members have, the average cost, etc. You can research what the best type of care and community may be for you or your loved one, on the state of Maryland’s Long-Term Care website.
Memory care is often more expensive than assisted living settings, as it provides everything assisted living does, with additional care to keep residents with dementia well. The Genworth Cost of Care Survey lists the average monthly cost of memory care in the Silver Spring area, at $6,000.
