The terms can feel confusing if you’re starting to explore senior living options for a loved one.
What’s the difference between assisted living, personal care, and memory care, and which is the right fit?
Here’s a quick breakdown:
💙 Assisted Living offers help with daily tasks like bathing, meals, and medications while encouraging independence in a social setting.
💙 Memory Care is a secure, specialized environment designed for seniors with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, with trained staff and tailored activities.
💙 Personal Care is similar to assisted living, but with varying state regulations; it often includes more medical oversight or flexibility depending on location.
Each option meets different needs, and choosing the right one can greatly improve quality of life.
