Alzheimer's Care: what you're actually buying
Alzheimer's care is dementia-specific memory care with secured units, structured routines, and staff trained for the behaviors that come with Alzheimer's and related dementias.
It is delivered within a Pennsylvania Personal Care Home or Assisted Living Residence license with disclosure of dementia-care services under the applicable chapter — there is no standalone Alzheimer's license. A typical monthly range is $6,200 to $8,600 a month.
When you visit, look past the lobby and check these:
- how the community handles sundowning and exit-seeking behavior
- whether the care plan is reviewed as the disease progresses
- the ratio of trained caregivers to residents on the memory unit at night
