The Importance of Personalized Care Plans in Memory Care
Personalized memory care plans are for senior adults who live with dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, or other neurological disorders. It provides daily care in a supervised community dedicated to creating a home-like setting that makes them feel like they are living at home.
When is the right time for a memory care plan? That depends on the person and their living situation. If you know someone who can benefit from a memory care program, here are the main reasons why it’s time for memory care:
- They forget to take medications on time or the correct dosage
- A noticeable change in their mood and temperament
- Housekeeping and laundry duties are ignored or neglected because they are too hard to do
- You notice a decline in their personal hygiene
- They wander or get lost in common areas
