Alzheimer's Care: what you're actually buying
Alzheimer's care is dementia-specific memory care with secured units, structured routines, and staff trained for the behaviors that come with Alzheimer's and related dementias.
It is delivered under a Texas Type B assisted living facility license with disclosure requirements and an optional Alzheimer's/dementia certification — there is no standalone Alzheimer's license. A typical monthly range is $4,800 to $7,000 a month.
Before you tour, know what actually predicts quality:
- how the community handles sundowning and exit-seeking behavior
- whether the care plan is reviewed as the disease progresses
- the ratio of trained caregivers to residents on the memory unit at night
