When it becomes difficult to care for someone with Alzheimer's disease or dementia at home, you may want to consider memory care. Memory care is a form of residential long-term care that provides intensive, specialized care for people with memory issues.

What makes memory care different?

Here at Heritage Community our Memory care unit is designed to provide a safe, structured environment with set routines to lower stress for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. Our employees provide meals and help residents with personal care tasks, just like the staff at our assisted living facility, but they are also specially trained to deal with the unique issues that often arise as a result of dementia or Alzheimer's. They check in with residents more frequently and provide extra structure and support to help them navigate their day.

Because people with dementia are prone to wander (6 in 10 do so, according to the Alzheimer’s Association), our memory care facility features locked entrances and exits with keypad entry and offers an enclosed outdoor space to enable our neighbors to travel outside while keeping them safely on site.

Call us today to see if Heritage Community is the right fit for you and your loved ones!
