Step 2: In-depth Memory Care Needs Evaluation

We meet with you in-person for a more elaborate conversation to get insight into the two most important things: senior's care needs and budget.

First, we talk about your memory care needs, preferences, concerns, interests, challenges, desires, as well as answer your questions. This helps us achieve a thorough understanding of your circumstance and later on assemble a personalized plan based on your distinct needs.

Second, we address the issue of the budget. We understand that paying for memory care is a serious and continuous financial obligation. So, we help look into your available funding options, such as Veteran’s Aid and Attendance, long-term care benefits, insurance policies, tax planning, reverse mortgages, and all other financial resources that can help reduce your anticipated monthly memory care living cost.

Step 3: Community Match Using Our Custom-Built Software

After we learn all there is to know about you, we curate the best-fit communities from our nearly 300 memory care living partners. We guarantee to only recommend you a list of communities that strictly meet your care needs, interests, location preference, and above all, budget.

We've worked with our memory care living partners for years now, and we've visited, pre-screened, and have personally met the management team, owners, caregivers, and staff. We know in what area of dementia care each community excels at and its current service performance. We've developed and maintained a good relationship with each of our partners over the years, and we can assure you they're reliable and the best in their own fields.

Step 4: In-Person Memory Care Community Tours

Don't just take our word for it. That's why we accompany you on tours to selected communities. You get to see firsthand how secure and safe the place or how compassionate, caring, and experienced each caregiver is. We know this is a crucial phase, and you want to be 100% confident with your final choice of memory care community. We’ll answer all of your burning questions, and if you need to talk to one of the caregivers or staff about the everyday life or routine inside the community, we’ll be glad to help you meet with them.

Step 5: Evaluation, Decision, and Support

We meet again to discuss your feedback and what you think about each community. We address any remaining questions and get in touch with the appropriate people to clarify your concerns. If the final concern boils down to budget, we can help negotiate the price with your chosen community, provided it's possible.

Once you've made a selection for your preferred community, you sign the contract. We assist with the admission process and paperwork. We want the transition to be seamless for you. That said, we offer additional resources, including home companion care companies, home health companies, downsizing companies, senior move managers, elder law attorneys, veteran’s benefits, and more to meet your loved one’s short-term or long-term health requirements.

When Is the Right Time for Memory Care?

Moving a loved one into an assisted living memory care community is a big decision. You wouldn’t want to deprive a loved one of their independence by moving them to a community before it’s even necessary, whereas waiting considerably may cause sufficient decline in behavior or expose them to risks associated with staying in an unsupervised environment. Knowing when is the right time to move a person with dementia to a safer, secure, and better environment is crucial. You can't be too early, but you also can't be too late.

Some signs of cognitive decline are subtle at first and get worse over time. Exploring memory care options at the earliest signs of dementia is your best bet – when everyone, including the person with dementia, can participate in the decision-making. If a spouse, parent, loved one, or friend exhibits these symptoms, you may need to consider memory care.

• Weight loss, missed medications, and declining memory. Difficulty in completing everyday tasks. At the onset of dementia, the person tends to repeat conversations, ask the same questions, forget appointments, and have trouble managing finances.
• Noticeable behavioral changes, such as social withdrawal, isolation, depression, difficulty expressing ideas or joining conversations, rapid and frequent mood swings, easily gets irritated, bored, scared, confused, and tired. Emotions go haywire.
• If a loved one used to drive, he/she may lose concentration, get anxious or scared behind the wheel. Driving mishaps and accidents can likely happen because of the declining ability to focus and pay attention to the rules of the road.
• Time and spatial disorientation, getting easily lost, leaving home at odd hours, wandering, sundowning, and hallucinations
• Apparent decline in mobility and stability. Balance issues, frequent falls, trouble climbing the stairs.

If your parent shows any of these symptoms, you know that it’s time to make a move.
Avoid making poor memory care decisions. Ask advice directly from certified dementia specialists who completely know what they're doing and who won't charge you thousands of dollars.
