Memory Care for Dementia

Learn more about how Memory Lane takes exceptional care of adults living with various forms of dementia in the Ann Arbor area.

The Very Best in Dementia Care in Ypsilanti, MI

While Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, there are many people in Michigan who are living with other forms of dementia, too. We offer support and services for all subtypes of dementia including Lewy Body dementia, frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and beyond. We understand that each condition requires a personalized approach to ensure the best possible care. At Memory Lane, our caregivers have the skill, patience, and compassion to help people with challenging dementia symptoms truly thrive.

At Memory Lane, we have three six-bedroom homes dedicated to caring for those who are diagnosed with dementia. Our caregivers are professionally trained to work with residents living with various forms of dementia, including but not limited to dementia with Lewy Bodies, Parkinson’s dementia, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, Huntington’s dementia, vascular dementia, and of course, Alzheimer’s disease.

Get to know our services below, or contact us to schedule a free consultation about your loved one’s needs!

Transparent, All-Inclusive Senior Living

At Memory Lane, we understand that finding care for a loved one with dementia can feel overwhelming. Many assisted living facilities and adult foster care communities increase the price of care as a person’s condition progresses, or exclude services and amenities from their advertised rates. We understand that changing needs are a natural part of living with dementia, which is why our pricing is fully transparent and all-inclusive.

For one flat, monthly fee, your loved one will enjoy around-the-clock care from a small, consistent group of caregivers they will come to know and trust. This rate includes all their meals, activities, and toiletries, too. If you have questions about paying for dementia care, we welcome you to request a consultation with our team today!

How We Care for Older Adults with Dementia

Caring for a person with dementia can be overwhelming for family members. At Memory Lane, our dementia care specialists prioritize your loved one’s health, wellness, and cognitive needs. That way, you can focus on creating more meaningful, positive, and joyous moments with them during your visits!

Personal Care

We take special care to respect our residents’ dignity and comfort while we assist them with bathing, grooming, dressing, continence care, and more.

Meal Preparation & Assistance

We understand that residents’ conditions may present unique mealtime challenges, such as problems with chewing or swallowing. With three home-cooked meals a day shared at the kitchen table, we ensure all residents meet their nutritional goals.

Medication Administration

Your loved one’s caregiver will ensure that all medications are taken at the right time and proper dosage, according to their doctor’s instructions. If additional skilled nursing care is required, we can coordinate professional services.

Care Management

Because our staff-to-resident ratio is kept high, each caregiver is able to act as a true member of your loved one’s care team. We will ensure all doctor’s instructions are carried out precisely, can provide transportation, and can arrange any professional in-home visits as required.

Housekeeping

Laundry and housekeeping services are included in your rate—you’ll never have to pay extra to make sure your loved one lives worry-free in a clean and safe environment.

Recreational Therapy

Our intake process involves getting to know your loved one’s hobbies, interests, preferences, and prior career. That way, we can tailor daily activities and special events to focus on their remaining abilities and ensure they are engaged in the things that bring them joy.

Your Dementia Care Questions Answered

Many families wonder how to care for someone with dementia, and find that the challenges can become overwhelming quickly. While each person is unique, and there are no specific rules about timing, we generally recommend scheduling a consultation with us when:

  • You are struggling to meet their care needs as a family caregiver
  • Your own mental and physical health is at risk from additional caregiving duties
  • Your loved one’s home environment is no longer safe for them (wandering behaviors, leaving the stove on, fall hazards, etc.)
  • Your loved one lives alone, withdraws from social activities, or is at risk of isolation
  • Your loved one is exhibiting aggressive or abusive behaviors, putting both your safety and theirs at risk

Neither Medicaid nor Medicare covers long-term dementia care. Coverage for senior care typically only includes short-term, doctor-prescribed care. However, at Memory Lane, we do accept all forms of long-term care insurance, and we strive to keep costs as affordable as possible with all-inclusive rates:

  • Regular Room: $9,500 per month
  • Master Suite with Private Bath: $9,900 per month

If any extra services are required that would necessitate additional fees, we will let you know well in advance so that you never have to guess about paying for your loved one’s care!

Our caregivers are highly trained to reduce challenging dementia behaviors, promote a sense of calm and serenity, and support residents with unique sensory issues, especially when it comes to ensuring they receive proper nutrition and hygiene. However, we also maintain relationships with a network of professionals in the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area, whose services can be coordinated as needed:

  • Visiting physicians
  • Visiting podiatrists
  • Recreational therapists
  • In-home physical, occupational, and speech therapists
  • In-home lab and X-ray services
  • In-home therapists specializing in elder care
  • In-home hairdressers
