When you or someone you love is dealing with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, you want the best possible treatment. Our memory care neighborhood can provide the answer.
If you suspect your loved one is unsafe, it may be time to explore dementia care options. Memory care is a good option to consider for your loved one’s wellbeing. If he or she is wandering out of the home, getting lost when out and about, forgets to turn off stove tops or ovens, neglects to take important medicines, no longer adheres to normal routines, isn’t paying bills or you notice a signs of physical or mental/emotional decline, this may very well be the time to consider Memory Care.
The current daily rate for Memory Care is an all-inclusive rate of $278/day or $8,456/mo based on a 30-day month. This rate has no community fee. This means your cost for Memory Care at Sagewood is not based on level of care and no more worries about added care fees. Your monthly fee will be predictable. The only additional expenses families should expect to incur are for personal amenities and services the senior might want, such as beauty/barber shop fees.
When you are at Desert Willow Assisted Living and Memory Care you also have access to physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy in our rehabilitation department at Acacia Health Center.
