Memory Care in Salisbury

Alzheimer’s disease is a prevalent type of dementia, and may manifest symptoms such as memory impairment, emotional fluctuations, and difficulty with activities of daily living.
While the onset of Alzheimer’s is more frequently observed in individuals over 65, it is not an inevitable aspect of the aging process. Personalized care can be provided to support people experiencing the effects of this condition.

Parkinson’s disease is a condition commonly associated with tremors and rigidity, but it can often overlap with dementia. It may also give rise to other symptoms, including cognitive decline, mood disorders, and sleep disturbances.
Memory care can offer support for people and families affected by this condition.

Dementia broadly refers to a range of conditions that impact memory, language, cognitive skills, and personality, and may include experiences of hallucinations. While these conditions can profoundly impact a person’s life, they do not have to define them.
At our community, we adjust our approach to memory care based on the individual needs of each of our residents.

When more details start to slip, it may be crucial to consider a memory care lifestyle for your loved one. Forgetting important dates and appointments, neglecting to eat or make meals, and not taking proper medications can be strong indicators of dementia and should be investigated accordingly. 

Take notice if your loved one often finds themselves in unfamiliar situations. Wandering without cognition and unexplained bruises or injuries can be signs that you need to consider your loved one’s options for memory care.

A drastic shift in personality can be another indicator of dementia or associated conditions. Mood swings, personality changes, and neglecting personal hygiene are behaviors to look out for in your loved one.
