Frequently Asked Questions
What is Memory Care for seniors?
Does Your Community Serve Seniors at All Stages of Memory Loss?
How can I decide between assisted living and memory care?
Assisted Living and Memory Care senior living communities provide many of the same services, including housing; meals; and help with bathing, grooming and toileting. However, Memory Care communities or neighborhoods specialize in caring for seniors with all stages of Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. In Memory Care communities, environmental security is a key design feature.
To prevent wandering, many communities are equipped with locked entrances and exits, as well as keypad entries, obscured exits, and doorbells signaling entering and exiting. To avoid injuries from falls, dementia care communities feature designs that minimize confusion. In addition, they offer calming therapies in soothing spaces. This can help reduce agitation and confusion that can lead to aggression or self-injury.
The staff members in dementia care communities are also specially trained in care planning for those living with memory loss. The staff understands how to effectively prevent and manage difficult dementia behaviors. They also understand the balance of encouraging residents to stay as independent as possible while providing the support they need. Many communities, including Charter, have a higher staff-to-resident ratio than Assisted Living, which allows for more one-on-one attention throughout the day.
What is the cost of memory care?
Does Medicare cover memory care?
Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans generally will not pay for room and board or Assisted Living in a Memory Care community. Memory Care will, however, pay for the medical care the facility provides. Veterans benefits typically help cover the cost for eligible Veterans and surviving spouses who are over age 65.
Is dementia care right for my loved one?
What is the difference between memory care and dementia care?
Memory Care and dementia care are closely related and often used interchangeably. Memory Care refers to the specialized setting within a community, while dementia care describes the services provided. At Charter Senior Living of Brookfield, our FlourishSM Memory Care community combines both – offering a dedicated environment along with expert Alzheimer’s care in Brookfield.
Where is the best place to put someone with dementia?
Where is the best place to go for Alzheimer's treatment?
The best approach to Alzheimer’s treatment often includes a combination of medical care and specialized daily support. While physicians manage treatment plans, our Memory Care community in Brookfield offers essential day-to-day Alzheimer’s care, including structured routines, cognitive engagement and personalized attention that supports overall well-being.
At what stage do Alzheimer patients need full-time care?
Full-time care is often needed in the middle to later stages of Alzheimer’s disease, when memory loss begins to significantly impact safety, communication and daily functioning. At this point, a Memory Care community provides the structure and supervision needed to ensure comfort and security.
