These types of dementia include:<\/p><ul><li>Alzheimer\u2019s<\/li><li>Parkinson\u2019s dementia<\/li><li>Vascular dementia<\/li><li>Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease<\/li><li>Lewy body dementia<\/li><li>Frontotemporal dementia<\/li><li>Mixed dementia<\/li><\/ul><p>This form of senior care often occurs in a secure wing of an assisted living facility, but standalone dementia care communities also exist. Memory care communities provide <strong>activities of daily living assistance<\/strong> and <strong>purposeful activities<\/strong> that promote <strong>healthy brain function<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Residents typically live in private or shared living spaces. They are encouraged to participate in group activities, eat brain-healthy meals in the dining room, and stay as physically active as possible.<\/p><h2>When is it time to consider memory care?<\/h2><p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alz.org\/alzheimers-dementia\/what-is-dementia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alzheimer&#8217;s Association<\/a>, \u201cDementia is a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer&#8217;s is the most common cause of dementia.\u201d<\/p><p>Alzheimer\u2019s and other forms of dementia affect everyone differently, but the<strong> key indicator<\/strong> is when <strong>memory loss interrupts daily life<\/strong>. It may be time to find alternative care if:<\/p><ul><li>Accidents are becoming more commonplace.<\/li><li>Wandering is a serious concern.<\/li><li>Providing supervision becomes a full-time job.<\/li><li>The person with dementia is not receiving adequate nutrition.<\/li><li>Depression and anxiety create abrupt mood changes.<\/li><\/ul><p>Finding care is a personal journey, but if the support you and your family can give creates <strong>financial stress<\/strong>, <strong>emotional strain<\/strong>, or <strong>caregiver burnout<\/strong>, you&#8217;re likely ready to begin exploring other options.<\/p><p>Memory care offers a <strong>higher quality of life<\/strong> for seniors with dementia. Finding care as soon as possible can improve outcomes and help strengthen the bond with your relative. Specialized team members take care of the heavy lifting so you and your loved one can spend quality time together.<\/p><h2>What are your Alzheimer\u2019s care options in Puyallup, WA?<\/h2><ul><li>In-home caregivers<\/li><li>Adult day center<\/li><li>Long-term care<\/li><\/ul><h3>In-home Care<\/h3><p>Cost: $6,673 per month for 44 hours of care per week*<\/p><p>Hiring a full-time in-home caregiver can help offset supervision and support duties while allowing your loved one to live in a familiar environment.<\/p><p>Companion services can provide supervision and activities, while personal care services assist with activities of daily living. Homemaker services provide meal preparation and household chores, while skilled care focuses on medical services carried out by a licensed health professional.<\/p><p>Without a strong network of friends and family, people with dementia may become lonely or feel isolated. These feelings can lead to inactivity and depression.<\/p><h3>Adult Day Centers<\/h3><p>Cost: $1,625 per month*<\/p><p>Adult day centers provide socialization, meals, and activities but may not accept later-stage dementia patients. You\u2019ll need to coordinate supervised transportation to and from the centers to prevent wandering.<\/p><p>Many family caretakers rely on this service as respite care to take breaks from their supportive duty, if only for a few hours per week.<\/p><h3>Long-term Care \/ Nursing Homes<\/h3><p>Cost: $9,764 to $10,707*<\/p><p>Long-term care comes in many forms, most commonly thought of as a nursing home. Nursing homes can provide care for memory loss but are beneficial for people with chronic conditions. People who require skilled nursing medical care usually live in these facilities while recovering from procedures.<\/p><p>If your loved one does not require additional medical services, memory care is an option you may want to explore.<\/p><p><strong>Memory care<\/strong> is also a form of <strong>long-term care<\/strong> and provides a personalized level of support. Other types of senior living, like independent living or retirement communities, often lack the resources to provide appropriate care for people living with Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\">*Cost figures are taken from the 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genworth.com\/aging-and-you\/finances\/cost-of-care.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Genworth Cost of Care Survey<\/a>, Olympia, WA area.<\/p><h2>Find Puyallup Memory Care<\/h2><p>The Rivers at Puyallup provides <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-rivers-at-puyallup\/assisted-living\/\">assisted living<\/a> <\/strong>and <strong>memory care<\/strong> services for people experiencing a form of dementia in Puyallup and Pierce County.
