Alzheimer's Care Communities
Alzheimer's Care is most often an assisted living community or a nursing home that offers dedicated memory care programs. This level of service can vary substantially. One place might only provide limited assistance, while another could offer more comprehensive care. Typically, within these communities, you'll find special care units that offer residents a safe environment and are equipped to handle the special needs of Alzheimer's and dementia residents. Today, you can also find communities that solely specialize in Alzheimer's care.
