FAQ
Here are a few common questions asked about assisted living for memory care. Click on each question below to see the answers.
What is the difference between assisted living and memory care?
Assisted living and memory care facilities have a lot in common regarding living conditions and daily activities. Seniors in assisted living need a certain level of care and assistance with everyday grooming, hygiene, housekeeping, transportation, etc. However, memory care requires additional security and safety because these residents usually have Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
If you have questions about the type of care your loved one needs, you should contact our memory care expert. Since every is senior is different, it is essential that you select the best program, and make the proper assessment so that you can find the best care.
Is memory care expensive?
Memory care does have extra costs, but those are directly related to the additional needs of each resident who has dementia. A quality memory care home is crucial for most families. Professional care helps improve the quality of life for seniors. Families have less to worry about knowing that their loved ones are in a safe and secure location.
Applewood Our House’s memory care team helps each resident to stay cognitively and physically active.
Can residents bring their own furniture and belongings?
Families can bring furniture, photos, artwork, and other familiar belongings to make a resident’s room feel more personal and recognizable. Our team can help you understand what will work well within the room before move in.
How are meals handled for residents with different dietary needs?
Meals are prepared in the home using menus developed with nutritional guidance. Individual preferences, dietary needs, and changes in appetite can be accommodated so mealtimes remain familiar and enjoyable.
What happens if my loved one needs medical attention?
Applewood works with a rounding physician who can review health, behavioral, or cognitive changes. We also partner with DispatchHealth for urgent care visits that can often take place right at home.
What happens before someone moves into the Arvada home?
We spend time learning about the person behind the care needs, including their routines, preferences, health needs, interests, and what helps them feel comfortable. That information helps the team prepare for their arrival and make the first days feel more familiar.
