Individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia have nuanced needs that are difficult to meet without the proper training or environment. It’s not uncommon for loved ones receiving in-home care to experience cognitive decline due to boredom or isolation.
A Charlotte memory care community can provide your family with tremendous relief during this emotional time. Residents often achieve better clinical outcomes in memory care because they have the support of highly qualified caregivers within a safe and intimate setting.

What is Memory Care?

Memory care is intentionally designed to:
- Provide 24/7 medical supervision by a registered nurse
- Provide unlimited help with self-care tasks (such as bathing, dressing, and eating)
- Establish comforting routines that lessen anxiety or aggression
- Stimulate the senses to slow cognitive decline and increase personal engagement
- Create opportunities for new meaningful connections

Our memory care residences include:
- In-room safety features such as grab bars, level floors, and slip-resistant surfaces
- Visual cues and signage for easier navigation
- Lighting for safety and to minimize the effects of sundowning

How Quickly Does Dementia Progress?
Dementia can progress at different rates, though it typically occurs over the course of several years. While there’s no way to know how quickly your loved one’s dementia will progress, you can make care choices to minimize mental decline. For example, a lack of physical, mental, and social stimulation can lead to quicker mental decline in your loved one. To maximize your loved one’s abilities, you should choose a dementia care provider that has the appropriate staffing ratios to enable them to provide enough physical activity, caregiver engagement, and socialization.
