When Is It Time to Consider Memory Care for a Loved One?

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
