Heather and Elaine are the heart of Linden. Their compassion shines through with every single resident here
From transitioning Mom upstairs to transitioning her to Memory Care the staff has been accommodating and making her and us all comfortable with the process. Thank you all
The Linden is doing a great job with its residents during an unprecedented situation (a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic). They have had very few Covid cases, and when they have any, they have been very transparent about it. They test all employees and residents frequently. The program of resident activities is excellent as well.

Dedham Memory Care Q&A

There are around 10 memory care facilities near Dedham, Massachusetts, but only one Linden at Dedham Memory Care facility, that will provide high-quality memory care to residents, with a whole lotta heart.

There are multiple top-rated memory care facilities near the Dedham, Massachusetts area, which you can research on the State of Massachusetts’ Senior Housing website.

Dementia care and memory care are often used interchangeably to describe the specialized form of care that is designed to enhance the lives of seniors living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.

The difference between Alzheimer’s care and assisted living is subtle, as memory care often provides many of the same services that assisted living does. However, memory care is tailored to seniors living with dementia, both in design and treatment provided.

As memory care is a more specialized form of senior care, it can be more expensive than an assisted living setting. The Genworth Cost of Care Survey lists the current average monthly cost of memory care at $6,100 in the Dedham, Massachusetts, and greater Boston area.

There are often brain and memory-enhancing activities and support groups provided to seniors at memory care facilities. You can contact The Linden at Dedham to learn more about specific activities for seniors in memory care there.

It can sometimes be difficult to determine when a loved one is ready to transition from another senior care setting to memory care. Often, signs like isolation, lack of safety, and wandering, are indicators that it might be time for a move. You can learn more at: “10 Ways to Know It’s Time to Move to Memory Care.”
