Discovering Memory Care for Alzheimer’s and Dementia in Fairfield, CA

What is memory care?

Memory care honors those living with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other forms of dementia by enabling them to live fulfilling lives. Bringing together a balance of activity, artistic exploration, socialization, and therapeutic services, it’s a valuable service that provides relief to residents and their families.

Does my loved one need memory care?

The statistics for people experiencing Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia are growing exponentially. In the United States, 11.3% of adults over the age of 65 are currently living with Alzheimer’s, which equates to over 6.2 million people. In the state of California, Alzheimer’s cases are expected to rise 29.2% by 2025.

Losing the ability to care for one’s self is the main reason for requiring memory care.

Communities like The Village at Rancho Solano in Fairfield, CA, provide an enriching environment with personalized care as the highest priority.

Memory care is a long-term solution to ensure your loved one can live an independent lifestyle with dignity.

Common signs of requiring memory care are:

  • Forgetting medication
  • Getting lost in familiar places
  • Change in hygiene or not able to complete daily living tasks
  • Experiencing accidents around the house
  • Having trouble remembering family and friends
  • Becoming increasingly irritable
  • Receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or other form of dementia

Can I care for my loved one with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or dementia?

For the millions living with some form of dementia, it’s estimated 11 million people spent 15.3 billion hours taking care of someone. That’s over $257 billion of unpaid work across the country. From doctor’s appointments and medication management to preparing meals and making sure the home is safe, a lot of everyday tasks can start to add up and feel overwhelming.

Can my loved one benefit from in-home care?

Socialization is a huge factor in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and they may miss out on that when staying at home. At Rancho Solano, we provide an open environment for residents to interact in addition to orchestrating a calendar of activities, outings, and events.

In-home care may not include things like brain-healthy meals or a 24/7 monitor of care. In addition to all of the expenses that come with living independently, in-home caregivers can cost somewhere around $95-$175 a day.

Where is the best place for someone with Alzheimer’s and/or dementia?

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, people living with early-stage dementia benefit from a supportive environment that emphasizes living in the moment. It needs to be a space that is easy to navigate and reduces anxiety. Having routines of mentally stimulating activities, access to physical recreation, and a balanced diet contribute to continuing an independent lifestyle. All of these qualities and more are available at The Village at Rancho Solano.
