Memory Care
These communities focus on dementia care; whether your senior has a general form of dementia or Alzheimer's Disease. What sets memory care apart from standard Assisted Living is the high level of dementia education and training each staff member must go through. All Memory Care Communities are locked units which requires a code to get in and out of the community. This ensures the resident remains safe from elopement (leaving the community unsupervised).

Nursing Homes
These communities are developed to work exactly like Assisted Living Communities, except they are typically larger. Board and Care homes are usually set in residential communities; they are usually large residential homes, maybe a large farm house with several bedrooms. It's not uncommon for a community to only have 2 or 3 bedrooms or residence. Others might be larger up to 10 or 15 residents. These communities are set up to have a pleasant family feel and are generally more affordable than larger Assisted Living Communities.
