Cost Of Assisted Living

The cost of Assisted Living Communities varies depending upon the type of residence, the size of the residence, the services that are required, and the location of the facility. In most instances, there is a base monthly cost. Additional fees are charged based on the level of care needed (such as medication management or assistance with personal care). There are also additional fees for certain social activities (i.e. tickets to a ball game or the theater) and for beauty salon services. Health insurance does not typically provide coverage for Assisted Living Facilities. However, if your loved one has long-term care insurance, it may cover a portion or all of the monthly cost . Some Veterans may be eligible for financial assistance towards their cost of Assisted Living.

When a loved one develops dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other cognitive-based memory loss, many emotions can arise. Fear often develops concerning their overall safety. Sadness occurs as we struggle to watch our loved ones decline. Frustration may become evident as we try to develop a connection.

What is Memory Loss Care?

Memory loss care is a specially designated type of care provided to individuals who have been diagnosed with varying degrees and types of dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other medical conditions that result in the loss of memory and the ability to care for himself or herself. Memory care environments are highly structured. They consist of numerous routines, schedules, and activities to allow a person who suffers memory loss to enjoy a lifestyle in which he or she feels successful. Additionally, safety features are in place to ensure that your loved one is safe, and as healthy as possible.

Individual Care Plans are important for seniors with memory loss. Memory care programs place a special emphasis on personally getting to know each individual. Not only does this allow the caregivers at the assisted living facility to connect intimately with each senior, but it also allows them to work with medical professionals and specialists to create an individualized care plan.

This care plan is a special type of wellness plan that assists in ensuring that the appropriate level of care is provided for your loved one, even as their needs change over time.

The Memory Loss Care Atmosphere

Cognitive uncertainty is a frightening experience. Individuals facing memory loss require an atmosphere where they can experience comfort, feel successful, and are safe.

Memory Care Communities have a vast array of safety features and are designed to accommodate individuals with dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other medical-related memory issues.

Memory Care Safety Features:

Alarm doors and windows so that unintentional wandering is avoided.
Accessibility features for ease of movement throughout the living areas.
Emergency response plans among nurses, caregivers, and support staff.
