The Leisure Care Difference

Today's older adults aren't wrapping up their life's journey, they're seeking a new one. And Leisure Care is here to inspire them to embrace joy and purpose in their lives. For nearly 50 years, we've been reimagining and reinventing senior living, making sure older adults have the most fulfilling, rewarding, and productive opportunities possible.

From our hospitality-based care to our signature programming, we take a beyond-the-body approach to well-being that goes beyond the basics because we know you're anything but. We're paying attention, providing new and innovative ways to help seniors rediscover, reinvigorate and occasionally even reinvent themselves.

Rochester Memory Care Q&A

The differences between assisted living and memory care are slight, as both focus on caring for residents’ activities of daily living (ADLs), with the primary difference being that each aspect of memory care was designed with seniors with dementia in mind.

Every resident’s experience in a memory care facility varies, but on average, the stay in a memory care facility is between a few months to three years.

Some long-term care insurance may cover memory care, but you can look into your specific individual qualifications for Medicaid and Medicare on the state of New York’s website.

The average monthly cost of a memory care facility in the greater Rochester, NY area, according to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey, is $5,180. Contact The Hamlet in Rochester, NY, to get pricing and learn important details about our memory care community.

It can be difficult to determine when a dementia patient may need 24-hour Alzheimer’s care or move to memory care, but if a loved one is experiencing a lack of safety or is wandering, it may be the right time to consider a memory care setting.

Memory care is often more expensive than an assisted living community or other types of senior living, as memory care provides a higher level of care to seniors than assisted living does, and is specifically designed with seniors with dementia in mind. Contact The Village at Unity in Rochester, NY, to take a tour and see what memory care with a whole lotta heart can do for your family.

Watching a loved one journey through dementia can be difficult and many families want to care for their loved one in their own home. For most, there comes a point where dementia care is best delivered in a memory care community. The decision to move a loved one to memory care senior living is highly personal and will depend on your unique situation. Contact The Village at Unity to learn more about our memory care community that can restore balance in your family relationships and encourage your loved one to live a purposeful and meaningful life.
