Memory Care
Alzheimer's & Memory Care Communities
What are Alzheimer’s/ Dementia/ Memory Care Facilities?
As a placement agency for the elderly, we often times recommend a memory care community for your loved ones who may have Dementia or Alzheimer’s. These homes are specially designed, maintained, and staffed for people who have Alzheimer’s or other forms of Dementia. Typically, staff has taken special courses and/or seminars on how to care for seniors with behaviors such as aggression, depression, and confusion.
Many of the larger assisted living facilities in Florida offer Alzheimer’s/Memory care within their facility. Normally, the floor plans are one level, with flat surfaces for walking. Most homes have novelties such as textured pictures on the walls, for sight and touch, enclosed court yards for freedom and security, some even have pets for the residents to enjoy.

Semi-private rooms are available and sometimes preferred to prevent loneliness and isolation. Like the other options for housing, Memory/Alzheimer’s Care can take place in a large community or a smaller Residential Care Community for the Elderly
