TUCSON, Ariz. — Memory care facilities provide specialized residential care for people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
“So you’ll find that one facility does it really well, another one doesn’t,” said Tory Robert, Director of Government Affairs for the Alzheimer’s Association, Desert Southwest Chapter. “And the consumer has no idea how to determine that. And once you move your loved one into an assisted living facility, and they are living with dementia, to move that person would be, it could be very traumatic. It could set them back. So choosing a facility is very important.
“There is no specific training on the disease or the special needs of people living with the disease,” she explained. “And that’s the gap we’re trying to fill.” The standards go into effect in the summer of 2025. Roberg explains the delay is in part to allow businesses to adjust to implementing the new training standards.Memory care is also an issue where both sides of political aisle seem to agree in Washington, D.C.
