MEMORY CARE IN TEXAS

As of 2020, 400,000 Texans are living with Alzheimer's disease and that number is expected to increase 22.5% by 2025, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. The number of people who have died from the disease is up 217.2% since 2000 with 10,101 deaths from Alzheimer’s reported in 2019. These statistics demonstrate a growing need for memory care support throughout Texas.

WHAT IS A MEMORY CARE FACILITY?

Memory care is a type of long-term care geared toward those living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of progressive-degenerative dementia. People who require a higher level of support than what is offered in assisted living, or who have advanced dementia that makes it unsafe to remain at home, may find that memory care is their best long-term care option.

While nursing homes provide 24/7 skilled nursing care, memory care facilities offer a safe, structured environment that’s specially designed to protect residents against wandering and self-harm. Memory care residents are generally free of any major health concerns aside from Alzheimer’s or dementia, but they can no longer safely live in their own homes.

The below nine warning signs are indicators that it might be time to start considering memory care for your loved one.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN A MEMORY CARE FACILITY

Memory care services are usually provided in either a special area within an assisted living community or a dedicated memory care facility. Unlike skilled nursing facilities, also known as nursing homes, memory care units are designed to look and feel much like a traditional residential setting. Some communities feature small cottage-style housing units clustered around a community building with recreational facilities.

Memory care units include private or semiprivate living spaces, such as studio and one-bedroom apartments, equipped with a private, wheelchair-accessible bathroom. These living spaces can be personalized with family photos, a favorite chair and other items, and most units include cable TV and telephone service. To keep residents safe, memory care apartments are generally free of cooking appliances, although some units have small kitchenettes with a microwave and fridge.
