Is It Time for Memory Care?

Caring for a loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia can be a very stressful job.  If you think it is time to consider other care options, rather than feeling disappointed in yourself, remember the job of a caregiver is tough and it may be in yours as well as your spouse, mom, or dad’s best interest to move into memory care.      

If caring for a loved one requires more effort on your part than you are able to give physically or mentally, please reach out and get the help you need as your own health and wellbeing may be aversively impacted. Also experts stress that while there is no downside to placing someone in memory care in the earlier stages there could be drawbacks to waiting too long.  Remember the more advanced stages of the disease bring with it a significant decline in everyday functioning.

MorningStar at Englefield Green is one of the finest Alzheimer’s care homes in Boise, ID and is staffed by a team of caring individuals who through purposeful training and experience are dementia care specialists.  Our team understands the unique needs of each resident and delivers that care with compassion and thoughtfulness.  Additionally every aspect of our home has been designed to accommodate those needs.   

Keep in mind as the disease progresses; it becomes very difficult for a family to keep up with the increasing needs as the person requires more and more assistance with daily care activities such as bathing, toileting, and eating.  Other signs of advanced dementia include reduced mobility, wandering, and falling, which may require home modifications.  Professional memory care homes such as ours are equipped to deal with these issues and have 24/7 caregivers available.  So rather than feel like you let your loved down by not caring for them yourself, placing them in a multi-faceted community designed to attend to their changing needs may be the most loving thing you do.  Please contact MorningStar at Englefield Green to learn more about compassionate memory care.
