What is the difference between memory care and assisted living?

Memory care neighborhoods are staffed by professionals trained in supporting people living with dementia, while assisted living caregivers are more generally trained. Memory care engagement opportunities are designed to embrace cognitive wellness and help residents to feel successful. Assisted living is a great option for people with other illnesses, disabilities or mild memory loss, who benefit from the day to day support, but are safe to be independent.

What is the difference between memory care and skilled nursing in Marietta, GA?

Memory care communities are designed to prioritize residents’ safety and security, while allowing them to maintain a sense of dignity and independence. Staff members in memory care communities are specifically trained in the  complexities of dementia care, and  create a daily routine for residents that is filled with engaging activities to prevent behaviors associated with anxiety and depression. 

Skilled nursing facilities in Marietta provide a higher level of care in a clinical setting. They cater primarily to those with complex medical requirements, and provide 24-hour assistance and monitoring, as well as hands-on support and help with tasks beyond their daily routine.

What is a memory care specialist?

A memory care specialist is trained to help manage symptoms and provide care for people living with dementia. At times, dementia can be a difficult disease to manage, but memory care specialists have the patience and skills to support these individuals.

What does memory care cost in Marietta, GA?
