When it becomes difficult to care for someone with severe memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease or dementia at home. In addition, when it is unsafe for your loved one to be living at home alone. A memory care residence provides a secure setting and community.
We encourage you to look at the layout, physical environment, and size of the memory care residence you are researching. Bayview’s memory care is smaller, which means lower staff to resident ratio. With a smaller setting, there is increased memory support, more structure, and less stimuli for your loved one. Once you’ve narrowed your choices, visit each memory care residence. Food, activities, staff, availability of continuing care are all important factors to consider.
Our memory care staff to resident ratio is 1 to 5 residents. Bayview’s memory care staff also undergo extensive dementia care training.

At Bayview, the conversation typically begins with the family and our social worker. A memory care community is a very unique setting and is often not a one size fits all. Therefore, a crucial conversation with our social worker allows an opportunity to have all your questions answered.
