Does your senior loved one in Renton require specialized services for memory care? MyAFH Renton Memory Care is here to help!
What is Memory Care?
Memory care is a service of long-term senior care tailored for those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of progressive-degenerative dementia and/or memory loss. Individuals in Renton who need more support than what is offered in a typical assisted living facility, or those who have advanced dementia, making it unsafe for them to remain at home, will usually find that memory care is their best solution for long-term care.
While nursing homes and other senior living facilities provide 24/7 professional care, memory care specializing homes offer a safe, predictable environment designed to specifically protect residents from wandering, getting lost, and self-harm. Memory care residents usually do not have any major health concerns, aside from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, but they are no longer able to safely live in their own homes.
Memory care is designed to provide a safe, structured environment with set routines to lower stress for people with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Staff provide meals and assist residents with personal care tasks, just as the employees at an assisted living facility do, but they are also specially trained to assist with the unique issues that residents living with dementia or Alzheimer’s often experience. Memory care staff will check in with residents more frequently and often provide extra support and guidance to help residents navigate their day.
