Understanding Assisted Living vs. Memory Care [Video]

Jason Shott, Regional Vice President at Atria, explains the differences between assisted living and memory care. He offers insights into the safety and stages of dementia in assisted living environments. If you’re considering memory care, this video will help you better understand your options, including:

• Assisted Living: Community, care and daily connection – assisted living offers older adults support for maintaining independence.

• Memory Care: These environments are tailored to the unique needs and abilities of residents – with every activity, meal and exercise program designed for individuals with dementia and potentially slowing disease progression.

• Safety and Cognitive Impairment: Can someone with dementia live safely in assisted living? Determine whether assisted living is a suitable environment for an individual with dementia.
