Memory care needs may require a move

For some residents with memory care needs, families report needing to move to a different unit.

Two reviews mention situations where the resident needed memory care rather than staying in assisted living. In both cases, the family describes moving to a memory care unit locally. Somerset appears to be a good fit for assisted living support, but these comments suggest memory care may not be handled within the same setting for everyone.
