Seniors who have been diagnosed with memory care conditions such as dementia often are cared for at home by their family members. The same is true for seniors who are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or other chronic memory loss conditions. Most memory conditions worsen over time which means that your loved one may eventually need to live in one of many Maine memory care homes. While some seniors thrive at home with a live-in memory care aid, most fare better in a communal environment. Maine’s Alzheimer's care communities and dementia care homes have staff that is specially trained in the care of those suffering from memory conditions.

Facilities that offer dementia care in Maine will have varying levels of care that are tailored to the need of each resident. If you are caring for a loved one with a memory condition but no longer are able to keep up with the needs of their condition, we can help. Senior Living Help has an easy search tool that will help you locate quality memory care in Maine.

What Is the Expected Cost of Maine Memory Care Facilities?

Maine dementia care homes are long term living arrangements that have spaces that are made to support those with various memory and cognitive challenges. Unlike traditional assisted living facilities in Maine, memory care centers are staffed with caregivers who are dedicated to helping the residents maintain a sense of self and preserve their identity. Maine’s Alzheimer's care cost depends mainly on the location of the facility and the level of care the resident requires in order for them to thrive. Additional services, therapies, and medical care for other conditions may also affect the final monthly cost. For general budgeting purposes, you can expect to pay $4,890 a month for a basic memory care package and $9,764 a month for a premium memory care package, which is even higher than a retirement home in Maine. Most Maine Alzheimer's care communities will have a onetime admission fee that can range anywhere from $250 to $1,500. Some, but not all, memory care centers will also ask for a refundable deposit upon entry.

Knowing When It Is Time to Choose Alzheimer's Care In Maine

As people age, there will always be a small amount of memory loss that is nothing but age-related forgetfulness. Losing track of an appointment every once in a while, or forgetting the names of things or places on occasion, are also normal. However, when memory loss starts to affect your daily life or that of your loved one, it may be time to think about Maine memory care facilities. When you or a loved one starts having trouble holding a conversation or completing basic tasks such as dressing alone, it may mean that there is an underlying memory condition such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. It is important to seek a medical evaluation before looking for Maine Alzheimer's care communities to ensure the episodes are in fact memory-related.

Once a diagnosis has been reached, it is important to have a discussion regarding long term care. Most families will care for their loved one at home or help provide care for loved ones living in Maine senior living apartments for as long as they can, but very few understand the emotional and physical toll being a caregiver often entails.

During the early stages of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, a person may be able to live independently with periodic monitoring. Memory conditions have no known cure and there is no way to stop their progression, so quality memory care will be needed eventually. Think about your family’s ability to care for your loved one as they progress through their condition. You should also think about what being a caregiver entails. After speaking with your loved one and considering all aspects of the situation, decide if a Maine Alzheimer's care home is the right choice for you.
