Memory Care
Giving the ones you love our very best!
According to the US HHS, about 70% of persons over 65 will require long-term care at some point in their lives. According to the CDC, cognitive impairment disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Dementia affect 50% of all residents in long-term care institutions.
The high number of seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia in long-term care facilities may be caused by the difficulty of managing the disease. When an elderly person begins to show signs of Alzheimer’s or dementia, many families understand that memory care is in their loved one’s best interests.
For some seniors, continuing to live at home without expert care can become harmful and dangerous due to the symptoms that come with memory loss. Memory care communities such as the Catholic Care Center offer a secure environment for the elderly suffering from memory loss. Our Alzheimer care facilities and memory care programs are designed to accommodate older persons with progressive cognitive diseases and are staffed by some of the best memory care experts. Our staff are specially trained to give personalized care to Alzheimer’s and dementia patients.
