Receiving care while remaining in one's home can further enhance the quality of life for seniors with memory issues.
This is true for those with minor memory problems that result from age or for those with Alzheimer’s, dementia or other forms of memory loss.
A familiar environment can reduce confusion and improve mental engagement, and being surrounded by beloved objects and memory cues can foster a sense of connection and peace.
