Sadly, it can be easy to write off Alzheimer’s and dementia patients as having little potential, relegated to a life of sitting around and occasionally being entertained. South Mountain Memory Care, a memory care community serving Allentown and the surrounding Lehigh Valley, PA, knows that such a characterization is far from true. Alzheimer’s and dementia patients often can learn new skills and information for a meaningful quality of life. Dementia does not mean that the person can no longer take part in favorite activities or learn new things.

The time may come when you notice that your aging loved ones (or even you) are showing signs of memory issues. Thoughts of Alzheimer’s and dementia start to crowd your world, along with the possibility of a move to a memory care community. Because the senior living journey looks different for every person and every family moving into a memory care community, there is no one-size-fits-all approach, but there are some general guidelines that can help.
