What are the signs my parent needs memory care?
Wandering, getting lost in familiar places, missing medications repeatedly, kitchen safety incidents (left burner, water running), aggressive personality changes, or a doctor's diagnosis of moderate-to-severe dementia.
Memory care is for residents whose cognitive impairment makes assisted living unsafe. The legal threshold in Texas is the State of Texas Alzheimer certification — a community must hold that certification to serve secured memory care. The practical threshold for families is a series of incidents that don't resolve: a parent calling at 3am confused about where they are, getting lost driving to a place they've been a hundred times, accidents in the kitchen with no memory of starting them. By the time families call SeniorIQ, there have usually been 2-3 of these incidents. We can match to Alzheimer-certified Houston communities that have current capacity.
