I have been on this site for approximately two years (since my elderly mother went into a nursing home) and have seen the term "memory care facility" used over and over. I know what a nursing home is and I know what an assisted living facility is. Can someone please explain to me what a "memory care facility" is?
Memory care is for folks who wander, need more supervision and assistance and who may have more behaviors than folks in regular AL.
Both the AL and the NH that my mom used had a memory care section.
