Alzheimers Dement: The implementation of memory care in nursing homes can reduce the risk of hospitalization for the elderly

Memory care is a category worthy of research.
First of all, this logo sends a signal to consumers that assisted living communities can provide specific care for elderly people with dementia , even when memory care is a kind of self.
Identifies states that require very few additional regulations or requirements
.

Second, the cost of residents for memory care is nearly 40% higher than the cost of general assisted living

Memory care is a category worthy of research.

Alzheimers Dement magazine published a research article comparing the admissions of patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) in nursing homes and hospitals with memory care assisted living and general assisted living

A retrospective study of medical insurance beneficiaries with ADRD in large (> 25 beds) assisted living communities
.

We used risk difference and survival analysis to compare the two groups' hospital admissions, nursing homes, and long-term (>90 days) admissions to nursing homes

The study analyzes the results of general assisted living and memory care assisted living
.

Compared with ordinary care, patients with ADRD who enter the assisted life of memory care have a lower risk of entering nursing homes, and are less likely to live in nursing homes for a long time
