Best for: moms and dads who are mostly healthy but tired of home upkeep, cooking, or driving.
Best for: moms and dads who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or medications.
Best for: moms and dads living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia.
Ask yourself:
If Mom is safe and healthy but lonely or overwhelmed by the house, independent living may be enough. If she needs help with daily tasks, assisted living is likely the right fit. If memory loss is causing safety issues, memory care is worth a closer look.
When Mom and Dad need different levels of care, a life plan community or a campus with both assisted living and memory care can let them stay close.
Your MoveMyMom Advisor can connect you with a senior living advisor who knows Palm Beach County communities.
Yes. Many life plan communities offer several levels on one campus.
Memory care is for people living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, with secure areas and staff focused on dementia care. Assisted living is for people who need help with daily tasks but don’t need that level of support.
