Dementia Assisted Living Kansas City Offers Multi-faceted Residential Care Services

Dementia assisted living Kansas City is part of a continuum of long term care services that provides a combination of housing, respectful personal care services, and health care management for people who need assistance with the normal activities of daily living due to Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.

Dementia is a progressive condition that is more serious than memory loss from normal aging. Alzheimer’s, an even more severe form of dementia, can lead to extreme cognitive impairment and physical disability. Seniors of advanced age often become incapable of bathing and dressing, cooking and housekeeping, and often lose the ability to feed themselves or forget to eat entirely. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for people with severe dementia to become completely bedridden due to a loss of physical mobility.

Providing for the needs of someone with advanced stage dementia is challenging, and more often than not, the person will need more than a family caregiver can provide. In addition to needing more constant supervision, it is more difficult to keep them adequately nourished and hydrated. Further, the physical needs of a physically incapacitated adult, such as lifting people in and out of the bath, bed or a wheelchair, may be more than the average person can provide. When family caregivers can no longer provide the type of support they need, a dementia assisted living Kansas City facility becomes the most viable option.

Family members often find it very difficult to give up the care of their loved one at home and are extremely reluctant to resort to residential care. Typically, they have concerns about whether or not their loved one is being properly cared for, and whether they are safe. It is not uncommon to experience feelings of guilt over ‘abandoning’ their elderly parent. We understand and are fully committed to assuring that life for your loved one at dementia assisted living Kansas City is best for your loved one when they reach this point in their lives. The clean, comfortable, home-like accommodations, compassionate 24-hour supervision and personal assistance, along with structured activities and health-related services are designed to meet each of our residents’ changing needs and preferences.
