Alzheimer's Care
 Over fifty percent of residents in Assisted Living units and Nursing Homes have some form of dementia or cognitive impairment. Alzheimer or Memory Care units exist to provide safe and specialized housing for these residents. The units are usually on a secure floor or wing of a Nursing Home, and are staffed with health care providers trained to provide specialized care and activities for these residents. They foster the individual skills and interests of the patients to create a calm and low stress environment. Services such as reality orientation classes and group activities promoting creativity are often offered. Many facilities specializing in dementia have design features that help alleviate the disorientation associated with this condition, such as color-coded hallways, visual cues and secure wandering paths.
