Alzheimer’s Care Options for Older Adults

Plenty of senior care facilities provide Alzheimer’s care. Patients who have dementia and Alzheimer’s need 24-hour supervised care compared to those who are not. In-home services and non-certified family caregivers are no longer sufficient for someone who has this disease. Apart from hospitals, assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, and respite care have specialized care for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Senior care assistance in Missouri still allows patients with dementia to live independently. Early stages of this disease may require assistance and constant supervision but don’t need intensive treatment. Assistance with daily tasks like hygiene, meals, and mobility are some of the basic services. The environment in assisted living facilities resembles that of a home. Apart from performing daily activities, supervision, and minimal medical care, therapies, and leisure activities may also be available. Some have beauty salon services, gardening, games, sports, library, and art activities that older adults may enjoy.

Skilled nursing facilities and nursing homes are long-term Alzheimer’s care residential options that offer more specialized medical care than assisted living facilities. The efficacy and type of services these two facilities provide are similar to those in the hospitals. Nursing homes resemble the hospital setting the most.
