Compassionate Dementia Care for Your Loved One

Memory care is a specialized type of long-term care for individuals with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Unlike general assisted living, memory care provides structure that supports cognitive function. It is overseen by skilled professionals who understand the challenges of dementia and offer a supportive, engaging atmosphere focused on physical and emotional well-being.

Sundowning is a common symptom of dementia that usually happens in the late afternoon or evening, bringing increased confusion, agitation, or irritability as the day progresses. While the cause is not fully understood, factors like fatigue, changes in lighting, or a disrupted body clock may play a part. A structured schedule, calming activities, a comfortable environment, and reassuring one-on-one time can all help manage it.

Traditional Medicare generally does not cover long-term residence in a memory care facility, but it often covers medical services related to dementia, such as doctor visits, therapies, and hospital care. Some Medicare Advantage plans may include additional benefits, and some plans may help cover short-term respite care. Our team can help you navigate your payment options and plan your loved one’s care with confidence.
