From social and cultural programs to recreational and spiritual activities, offerings enhance the quality of life for all.

Who Could Benefit From Memory Care?

The holidays present an unassuming opportunity to check on older loved ones who you might not see on a regular basis. During gatherings and reconnecting with family, you can look for certain signs that may indicate they need Memory Care support.

• Are they unable remember familiar names and dates?
• Do they appear confused?
• Are they struggling with decision-making?
• Do they seem overwhelmed, lonely or less attentive to their hygiene?
• Are they expressing feelings of anxiousness or irritability that is out of the norm?
• Do they find it hard to climb stairs or move around comfortably?
• Are they experiencing noticeable weight changes?

These are just a few indicators that suggest it may be time to consider a new living arrangement where Memory Care is a priority.
