1. Assess the Level of Care Required
Start by understanding what kind of memory care your loved one needs. Are you looking for a dedicated memory care community, or would a specialized unit within an assisted living facility be sufficient?
2. Evaluate Your Budget
Memory care can be costly, and it's important to know that Medicaid typically doesn’t cover the expenses of most memory care facilities. Expect possible out-of-pocket expenses or look into private coverage options.
3. Shortlist Local Facilities
Identify at least two or three memory care providers in your area. Research their services, and once you have a list, arrange visits to see them in person.
4. Compare Care and Costs
After touring, compare each facility based on the quality of care offered and how well they align with your budget and your loved one’s unique needs.
5. Visit Multiple Times
Revisit the top contenders at different times of day. This gives you a clearer picture of daily operations. Try speaking with both staff members and current residents to get honest insights.
