Frequently Asked Questions

What is memory care like in West Chester, PA?

Memory care at Arbor Terrace Willistown is designed for individuals with memory impairment, Alzheimer's disease, or another form of dementia. Here, your loved one will find personalized support, encouragement, and relationships that help them actively manage symptoms, slow the progression of cognitive decline, and empower them to live life to the fullest.

At what stage should someone with dementia go into memory care in West Chester, PA?

If your loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia and you've noticed that they're struggling with daily activities, require frequent support, or feel lonely and isolated at home, it might be time to consider transitioning to a compassionate memory care community. Seniors experiencing cognitive decline may engage in unsafe behaviors, such as wandering, or experience rapid physical and mental decline if not properly treated.

What is the difference between memory care and personal care?

Both memory care and personal care provide support to seniors who need assistance with daily living, medical supervision or medication management. However, memory care is designed specifically for individuals with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. In memory care, your loved one will be able to participate in dementia-friendly activities as well as have access to staff who are highly trained in understanding the psychological and physical effects of cognitive impairments. 

What is the difference between memory care and skilled nursing in West Chester, PA?

Although nursing homes and memory care communities both offer care and 24/7 care for individuals with dementia and Alzheimer's, there are a few differences between the types of care they provide. Memory care communities offer specialized staff members who are trained in providing assistance for individuals with dementia, as well as provide amenities like restaurant-style dining and on-site spas and wellness amenities to help preserve seniors’ dignity and independence. 

Nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities are ideal for those who need advanced medical assistance and monitoring, particularly if they have complex medical needs and require a clinical environment. 

What is a memory care specialist?

A memory care specialist is a certified professional responsible for creating customized care plans for residents with dementia or a related memory condition. They typically have an extensive background caring for individuals with dementia and offer assistance with daily tasks such as personal hygiene as well as medical needs. Additionally, a specialist can help manage the behavioral symptoms associated with memory loss, such as aggression or confusion, helping your loved one feel calm and in control. 

What does memory care cost in West Chester, PA?

According to Genworth's Cost of Care Survey, the median cost of memory care in the Philadelphia, PA region averaged around $7,000 per month in 2023.

Will Medicare cover memory care in Pennsylvania?

Medicare does not typically  cover the cost of long-term memory care services in Pennsylvania or anywhere else in the United States. Individuals with Medicare may however be eligible for certain medical services related to memory care, such as doctor visits, diagnostic tests, and prescription medications. Medicare Advantage plans, which are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare, may also provide some coverage for memory care services, but coverage varies by plan.
