Whether your loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia is better off at home or at a memory care community is highly dependent on their needs. Usually, memory care communities can offer more opportunities to socialize and peace of mind knowing that your loved one is getting nutritious meals, and no one needs to be concerned with home upkeep. It provides the family with a sense of security knowing that their loved one is in a secure neighborhood. Memory care communities also allow families to become the family again and not the caregiver.
