Memory care residents at Meadowview of Clive receive a wide range of supportive services designed to promote dignity, comfort and well-being, starting with an initial health care assessment.

Some of the available services include:

While both memory care and assisted living offer support with daily tasks, memory care provides a higher level of specialized care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.

Here’s how they differ:

• Level of Care: Memory care includes structured routines, enhanced supervision, and staff trained in dementia care. Assisted living supports daily needs but does not provide specialized cognitive care.
• Environment: Memory care neighborhoods are designed for reassurance and simplicity, reducing confusion and promoting calm.
• Staffing: Memory care offers higher staff-to-resident ratios and caregivers with dementia-specific training.
• Activities: Memory care features tailored activities that support memory retention, engagement and familiarity.

At Meadowview of Clive, both living options are thoughtfully designed to support each resident’s needs and quality of life.

It may be time to consider memory care when your loved one begins to show signs that go beyond occasional forgetfulness and starts needing more specialized support for their well-being and engagement.

Common signs include:

• Worsening memory loss that disrupts daily life or puts them at risk
• Disorientation or confusion that leads to wandering and/or getting lost
• Changes in behavior or personality, such as increased anxiety, agitation or withdrawal
• Neglect of personal hygiene, meals or medications
• Caregiver stress or burnout from trying to meet complex needs at home

Meadowview of Clive’s memory care neighborhood provides a reassuring, compassionate setting with trained staff, structured routines and personalized care designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
