Putting a loved one in a nursing home is a difficult decision regardless of the circumstances. A memory care facility is a specialized nursing home that provides – in addition to a room and food – full time medical (nursing) care and in-house rehabilitative services, along with close supervision to provide some measure of physical protection for the residents. The home will not be designed as an acute care facility, but the goal at an Alzheimer’s care facility should be to help people maintain, as much as possible, their daily independent functioning.
