FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Dementia Care
When is memory care needed?
Deciding when to move a loved one into memory care is never easy. Signs that it may be time include getting lost or confused even in familiar places, struggling with daily tasks like dressing or taking medications, changes in behavior such as agitation or withdrawal, safety concerns like leaving the stove on or wandering, and caregiving becoming overwhelming. If you are unsure, our team is here to help.
How can family members support a loved one with dementia?
Family members play a crucial role. It helps to learn about the stages of dementia and what to expect, make simple changes at home to create a safer environment, communicate clearly using simple language and a calm pace, and spend time together doing meaningful activities such as listening to music or looking through familiar photos. Caring for someone with dementia is demanding, so it is also essential to seek support and take breaks when needed.
Does insurance cover memory care?
While Medicare does not typically cover long-term dementia care, there are other options, including Medicaid for those who qualify, long-term care insurance, and veterans’ benefits. Our team can help you review your options and find a solution that works for your family.
