Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia
Having a loved one who has Alzheimer's or Dementia is heartbreaking. Making the decision to find an appropriate home where they will be provided quality care is certainly not easy, but often it becomes necessary. Caregivers cannot always provide needed care within the home.
Because of the types of behavior often exhibited by individuals suffering from Alzheimer's Disease and/or dementia, specialized facilities are required. The building must be secure and, ideally, should be constructed to facilitate appropriate behaviors and remembering. Staff is required to have training designed specifically for dealing with the unique requirements of caring for someone with memory disorders and the behaviors typically associated with Alzheimer's Disease. For a listing of facilities meeting these requirements, with contact information, select a county on the map below.
