Memory Care Pittsburgh

Memory care focuses on what an individual is capable vs. not able to do, to improve the quality of life for the person with memory problems. For those with Alzheimer's disease or other kinds of dementia our program encourages people with memory issues to enjoy life, while also offering education and family support.

A Life Care Manager can help people with dementia:

• get the correct diagnosis
• develop a support system to prepare and plan for the future
• encourage the person with dementia to take an active role in their condition
• customize a plan of care to meet the individual’s needs. It’s important to remember that everyone experiences dementia and its progression in their own way.
• offer suggestions to allow the person with dementia to be able to lead active and fulfilled lives
• coach the family and care providers on ways to communicate with people with dementia
• assure a safe environment for memory care Pittsburgh
