Here are some of the most frequently asked questions from those interested in our Memory Care neighborhood. Read on to find out more about Emporia Presbyterian Manor. If there’s a question we haven’t answered here, contact us today.

How do I know my loved one needs Memory Care?

Diseases such as Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia are progressive—meaning they grow more pronounced over time. In the earliest stages, it may be difficult to recognize the difference between common forgetfulness and memory loss. We recommend seniors have regular visits with a primary care physician and discuss any concerns they have.

When is the right time to move my loved one into a Memory Care community?

If your loved one has a diagnosis of Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, he or she will benefit from placement in a memory care neighborhood. Memory care neighborhoods are specifically designed to support the needs of individuals with memory loss, providing visual cues that will support your loved one in making the transition from home to a senior living community. Memory care neighborhoods also offer activities in smaller groups and individually that are designed to help a memory care resident reconnect with activities they enjoyed earlier in their lives and keep them engaged in the present through participation in those activities. If you are unsure if your loved one is ready for memory care, check out this resource from the Alzheimer's Association, Know the 10 Signs of Alzheimer's Disease.

WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER MOVING MY LOVED ONE IN DURING THE EARLY STAGES OF ALZHEIMER’S OR DEMENTIA?

We have found that families are often surprised by how well their loved ones do once they move into memory care. The social engagement and specialty care programs help seniors make the most of their daily lives. Our goal is to help our residents thrive, and we have found that joining a memory care neighborhood earlier can help provide the necessary structure and mental stimulation seniors need.

Will Medicare or Medicaid cover the cost?

Will Long-Term Care insurance cover the cost?

Some long-term care insurance policies cover memory care. Reach out to your policy provider today to find out what your benefits may be applied to.
