Dementia Care Facility: What to Look For

Article Category: Aging

Author Name: Grace Rivers

Searching for a dementia care facility that caters to the needs and well-being of a family who has this condition? We understand that it can be quite a difficult task to search for the right place that truly understands the needs of patients with dementia.

In order to find the best dementia care facility for your loved one, it�s important for families to understand what dementia is. Teepa Snow, the leading authority on the care of patients with Alzheimer�s Disease, coined dementia as a �misremembering.� Dementia consists of a group of diseases affecting memory, language, and thinking.�It includes Alzheimer�s, dementia due to a vascular disease, and depression-induced dementia.

We have provided an essential checklist of things to consider when looking for a reputable dementia care facility:

Make a list of home health care companies and assistive living facilities within the vicinity. Create a schedule for the following activities like:
-Making an inquiry about their services
-Setting an appointment to see the director or the manager and requesting for them to provide a guided tour around the facility

B) Get a general feel of what the facility is like by evaluating:
-How the staff responds to inquiries from families who are visiting the facility
-How front desk or customer service personnel reply to telephone calls
-Whether the facility provides trans-cultural care for patients who are foreign
-The design in the walls and curtains. Take note of the illumination inside the facility. Patients with dementia might mistakenly see these lights as something scary.

C) Ask the manager or the resident occupational therapist for the list of activities that patients can do while staying in the dementia care facility. Patients have different interests, so it is important that they are given the chance to be able to do things that they are good at.
D) Ask the manager for the qualifications or academic standing of the people providing the care, like the presence of temporary and permanent nursing and caregiver staff and the number of workers who have specialized training in dementia care. Try to find out if an expert in dementia care is available to train the nurses, caregivers, and the family as well.

E) Make an inquiry regarding payment methods by doing the following:
-Ask if the facility accepts other forms of payment like credit card or check.
-Ask if they have in-house financing that allows staggered payments.

F) Interview the nurse and security personnel about measures being implemented to keep the facility safe. Specifically, you should ask them about the following:

-The presence of CCTV cameras to monitor the area
-How the meals are prepared
-Availability of housekeeping protocol and laundry services
-A list of therapy offered in the dementia care facility
-The head count of caregivers or nurses assigned to a patient
-Discharge protocol to be followed at the dementia health care facility
