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 do I talk to a loved one about moving to memory care?
This conversation can feel overwhelming. Choose a calm moment, use gentle and reassuring language, and focus on safety and well-being. Keep it positive by talking about the activities, social opportunities, and compassionate care they will receive, and involve them in the decision when possible. A gradual transition, such as visiting together first, can ease anxiety.
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 navigate your options and find a solution that works for your family.
