If you’re looking for help caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or other form of dementia, you’re not alone. According to a 2023 National Library of Medicine report, an estimated 6.7 million Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s disease. This number could grow to 13.8 million by 2060, barring the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent, slow, or cure Alzheimer’s dementia.
When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, families can become overwhelmed by the emotions they feel and the decisions they need to make. They may have concerns and questions about the assistance and support needed.
Memory care communities offer compassionate support and resources for residents and their families in a safe and comfortable environment with specially trained staff. In this article, we’ll discuss Allegro’s Ensemble Memory Care communities, their distinctive philosophy of care, living accommodations, services, amenities, and their profound effect on residents and their families.
