Having a loved one suffer from Alzheimer’s or dementia can
be very disheartening or demoralizing for a family. An increase in our lifespan
and increase in our senior population has made Alzheimer’s and dementia far
more noticeable and prevalent. According to a report published in the magazine Neurology Now, we can expect the number
of people who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease to grow by 44% by the year 2025.
To face such an unprecedented rise in Alzheimer’s and other
cognitive impairments in our senior community, a number of assisted living
communities across the country have started opening Alzheimer’s Care Facilities. Many of these facilities give
residents and their families an opportunity to receive treatment while meeting
others in the local Alzheimer’s community.
Several assisted living facilities have started hosting
their own Alzheimer’s support groups for residents and their families. These
support groups can a great benefit to the family members who are caregivers for
their seniors, as they have a chance to interact with others caregivers and
discuss their stories, options and feelings with others who were also affected by this disease. For many families, this is one of their
few chances to vent and release stress.
One other advantage to Alzheimer’sliving facilities is that they also allow the seniors to live in a
home-like environment. Bentley Assisted Living at Branchville is one of the few
assisted living facilities in New Jersey that offers Alzheimer’s and memory
care. Our residents are able to live in a safe and comforting environment while
receiving proper cognitive care.
