Dementia and Alzheimer care concerns
There are concerns about dementia and Alzheimer’s support for residents with moderate needs.
One review says the community leaders were not equipped to handle moderate dementia, and the family describes being forced to move within a short window. Another reviewer explains that while the community would have been preferred, it did not provide Alzheimer’s care, so it did not work for their parents’ needs. Together, these point to an important screening factor for families considering the community.
