DEMENTIA CARE (ALZHEIMER'S)
The final type of eldercare facility to discuss specializes in the care of elders with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. This type of facility provides comprehensive assistance with activities of daily living, has skilled nursing available on site, and may offer a moderate range of social and community activities. Depending on state regulations, they may also administer medication. Elders are usually offered a private or semi-private room, meals, and laundry and housekeeping services. Fees are generally paid through a combination of private and family funds.
