What are the many differences between Memory Care and Assisted Living?
Memory Care is for those who have been diagnosed with memory issues or dementia. There are typically fewer residents in the facility. The facility is a lockdown facility with either a magnetic lock or a combination lock for safety and security of the residents so that they can not leave the facility on their own. The locks are tied into the emergency systems so that they unlock if any of those systems are activated, to allow the residents and caretakers to leave safely. And the caretakers usually are required to have more training including memory care, sometimes over and above state regulations. Assisted Living is for those who need help with the activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing themselves, eating, taking their medications, or they want the companionship of other peers their own age, And may be recommended based on an incident such as a fall. The Assisted Living facility usually has 12 to 15 residents. The security is minimal with resident access as well as the safety of lock release in case of emergency. And the caretakers may only be required to have minimal training according to state regulations.
