Alzheimers, Dementia and Memory Care

When your loved one is diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, it is a difficult time in your life. While most families initially try to care for their loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia at home, at some point it no longer becomes possible or feasible. This may be due to the fact that the stage of dementia or Alzheimer’s has progressed and you are no longer able to dedicate the required time necessary to provide proper memory care to your family member. During this time, it is best to look for memory care near you. At AlzheimerSupport.com, we enable everyone to look through more than 45,000 facilities that provide dementia and Alzheimer’s care. Browse memory care units by state.
