What Dementia Is (and Why Journeys Differ)
Dementia is a progressive change in memory, judgment, behavior, and function that eventually affects independence and safety. Types include Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body, and frontotemporal dementia—each with a unique progression. Individualized care plans matter.
Signs It May Be Time for Memory Care
- Memory loss disrupting daily life (missed meds/meals, getting lost)
- Safety risks: wandering, falls, stove left on, nighttime confusion
- Behavior changes: agitation, withdrawal, resistance to care
- Caregiver burnout affecting health and family stability
Assisted Living vs. Memory Care
Assisted Living supports independence with light-to-moderate help.
Memory Care provides a secure environment, structured routines, and dementia-trained teams who use calm communication and meaningful engagement to reduce anxiety and improve daily life.
