How do I determine if an individual requires a Memory Care Unit?
The main thing to consider is the individual’s safety. If the individual is wandering, exit seeking and unable to recognize his or her surroundings, memory care is recommended. Richfield provides memory care programs in both our assisted living and nursing care environments. In assisted living individuals must be ambulatory, able to feed themselves and require the services of a secured environment. The Memory Care Program in our nursing center is for individuals who need a higher level of care and are in the more advanced stages of dementia or Alzheimer’s. Both of our programs are based on our ‘Dementia Possible Care’ Program.
