When Does My Loved One Need Memory Care?

As a caregiver, you may wonder when to seek Memory Care for your loved one. Dementia and Alzheimer’s are more intricate conditions than memory loss and require specialized care for a happy and healthy lifestyle. Refer to our quick guide to learn when to ask for help caring for your loved one.

Signs Your Loved One Needs Memory Care

Serious psychological changes may indicate the need for Memory Care. It’s important to talk to your loved one’s primary care provider to determine their needs. According to the Mayo Clinic, the following behavioral changes should be noted:

  • Agitation
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Hallucinations
  • Inappropriate Behavior
  • Paranoia
  • Personality Changes
When To Ask For Help

After consulting with your loved one’s primary care provider, you may feel confident in providing full-time care on your own. However, as needs or demands grow, it’s important to ask for help. The AARP offers a list of questions to help determine whether it’s time to find a Memory Care community for your loved one:

  • Are you becoming impatient, irritable, and stressed?
  • Are you beyond your physical abilities in caring for your loved one?
  • Are you neglecting work responsibilities, your family, or yourself?
  • Are you risking the health of your loved one or yourself?
  • Are you constantly worried about your or your loved one’s safety?
  • Would the structure and social interaction offered in a Memory Care setting be beneficial?
Important Questions

When you decide that Memory Care is appropriate for your loved one, it’s important to find a senior community that offers customized services. Here are a few important questions to consider:

  • In what ways have you adapted your personal care routine to accommodate your loved one living with dementia?
  • Are there specialized programs or activities?
  • How does the community encourage socialization?
  • How is balanced nutrition achieved?
