Caring for seniors with memory impairments from Alzheimer’s disease, a traumatic brain injury, or other forms of dementia is not always an easy task. Family caregivers often find that they need more help that understand memory care needs. Finding that help can feel like an overwhelming task, but it doesn’t have to be. Memory care placement services can help families determine which type of memory care setting is right for their senior’s needs. They also make it easier for families to make the transition to that type of care.
Memory Care Communities
Memory care communities are residential facilities that are designed for people who have memory trouble. These communities are secure and safe and they offer individual care and support for the people needing care. They often offer programs and activities that help to stimulate cognitive function and keep patients engaged. Patients are able to meet other people with similar issues and receive help from trained staff members.
Assisted Living Communities with Memory Care Units
There are plenty of assisted living communities that are now offering memory care units. Patients are able to take advantage of all of the advantages of the assisted living community, while also benefiting from targeted memory care assistance. Patients have help with daily needs and other types of care. Since assisted living communities tend to be more common, it’s more likely that one of these types of communities is close to family and friends.
Nursing Homes with Memory Care Services
If seniors need more medical help because of chronic health conditions, a nursing home that also has a memory care unit could be a better fit. This type of living situation offers around-the-clock medical care and supervision which seniors with advanced medical needs often require. They can also access other types of services easily, like physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy.
Aging in Place with Memory Care Support
Sometimes seniors need more help at home and would benefit from memory care support, but they don’t want to live anywhere else. Help from in-home memory care services can offer some of the same benefits as other options while allowing the patient to age in place. This type of assistance can help family caregivers to get the rest that they need while still spending lots of time with their aging family members.
Choosing the Right Option
Family caregivers often find it difficult to know what to do when someone they love needs more specialized care. There are lots of choices and lots of reasons each option might be a good fit. Memory care placement services work with families to sort through all of the possibilities and assess which ones are most likely to be a good fit. Placement experts stick with families all the way through the process, even helping make sure afterward that the choices made are really the right ones.
Understanding the different types of memory care options can help families make these difficult choices. Memory care placement services can be there with family caregivers every step of the way, answering questions and finding the right resources.

There is no greater thrill for me than walking into a room and seeing a senior’s eyes light up with true joy and excitement. I do this because I love seeing their big smiles and enjoy making each of them feel special. People often say you should do a job that you love so much it does not feel like work. I truly feel that this is my calling. There is no greater job for me than making connections with seniors and their loved ones.
I have been helping families find their loved ones the senior care that they need for more than 10 years. Their families find comfort knowing that I am always available for their call 7 days a week. They know that they can reach out to me anytime and I will take care of anything they may need.
I value the importance of checking in on and continuing to visit your loved ones even after they are placed in a community. In fact, I still visit some of the first seniors that I helped find care for nearly 10 years later. I love to take pictures with them to share with their families.
I was born and raised in Wisconsin and have been living in Arizona for the last 20 years. Since moving to Arizona, I have had the opportunity to work at 3 different senior living communities in the Valley. During that time, I have been able to help over 1,000 seniors and their families. I have enjoyed meeting with each family and understanding their senior’s unique needs to ensure that their family member finds the best suited community.
In the past, I was sad that the community I worked for was not always the one they chose, but now I am excited to use my expertise to represent the seniors and help find the perfect fit for their loved ones. Therefore, I created my own placement company with a FREE no cost service so I can help guide each family I come in contact with through this process.
My goal is to make this process as easy and simple as I can. When I am not working directly with seniors, I am out touring new communities, networking with others in the industry, and volunteering in order to locate the best communities to fit each senior’s needs and budget. This helps me understand what each community has to offer and what sets them apart from the others.
I am also continuing to build my vendor contacts referral system. This allows me to provide quick solutions and abundant resources for whatever a family may need. This includes in-home care, hospital beds, durable medical equipment and much more.
