Senior Living Guilt: Tips for Feeling Better About Moving a Loved One to Assisted Living or Memory Care

When a loved one needs assistance with daily tasks or requires increased attention and care while living with dementia, a family may struggle to find the best solution. Choosing the right assisted living or memory care community can be a challenge. But confidence in your decision can increase by talking with family, friends or the medical team for a referral – and visiting communities to see for yourself the quality care your loved one will receive.

What a Day in the Life of a Memory Care Resident Is Like

Families considering whether a memory care community would be the right choice for a loved one living with Alzheimer’s disease or other form of dementia may have questions concerning daily life in the community. It can be stressful if you don’t know what to expect. We can help. It’s reassuring to better understand how memory care residents typically spend their days. The following descriptions can help you decide if a community could be a good fit for your loved one.

A Checklist for Independent Living

Many older adults look forward to what the future may hold and how they can best create a lifestyle designed to meet their preferences.

The team at The Cottage were always kind and compassionate to both our parents as well as our family! From the front desk to the kitchen/waitstaff to the nurses and CNAs and managers, we cannot say enough about these individuals! Their dedication and energy was remarkable.
