When is it time for memory care?
There is no single day that is right for every family. Many people start looking when their loved one cannot be left alone safely, wanders, needs help with bathing or dressing most days, or when the main caregiver is burned out or getting hurt.
Talk with the doctor. Call your local Area Agency on Aging. Visit a few places before you need one. Use our free government help page for who to call near you, and our questions-to-ask list before you choose.
