Memory care service is a special form of care for the elderly who suffer from degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s or dementia. It involves medical and non-medical assistance including medication management, vital checks, grooming, cooking, etc. In addition to this, round clock amenities, mobility support, emergency services, illness-friendly spaces, and nutritious meals are also offered.

With age, comes several psychological and physical health concerns. Memory issues are one of the most prominent concerns. There are many causes associated with memory loss. For instance, damage to neurons and loss of neural connections in the brain, reaction to medications, vitamin deficiencies, stroke, and Lewy bodies in the brain are common factors that contribute to a decline in memory capacity. In addition to this, several risk factors for memory loss include age, family history, Down syndrome, diabetes, smoking, and head trauma.

Various disorders impair memory including dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and mixed dementia. Since memory disorders are a result of the loss of neural connections in the brain, it leads to a wide array of cognitive and motor impairments. Some common signs are confusion, irritability, mobility issues, language problems, poor problem-solving skills, paranoia, and difficulty communicating.
