What are the differences between Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care?
Both Independent living and Assisted living offer housing & some support services. Their most notable differences occur in the types & level of personal care services that they provide.
Memory care is a long-term adult care community specially designed for residents with Alzheimer’s disease, other related dementias, &/or cognitive impairments such as traumatic brain injury, within a secured environment. Senior Living Advisors of Austin specializes in advocating for those who require greater assisted care due to medical infirmities &/or memory loss.
How do I know which type of community I will need?
When the time comes to consider senior housing, you will find there is an overwhelming number of factors to consider. It’s like a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle with a different result for each person.
