While often hard to accept, dementia is a highly common occurrence in seniors, with about 3% of people between the ages of 65 and 74, 19% of people between 75 and 84, and almost 50% of people over 85 suffering from some variety of the disorder. Since dementia affects the brain’s ability to properly think and function, taking care of those affected by it can be quite the stressor. This is why, as much as we would often like to take care of our senior relatives ourselves, it is often a better option for everyone involved to recur to a certified dementia care residential facility.
While there is no known cure for dementia, evidence has shown that those who suffer from it live better lives when placed under specialized care. When seniors with dementia are being tended to and cared for by people fully dedicated to them, the stressors of everyday life are removed from the equation, and they are thus allowed to inhabit comfortable routines that provide them with a sense of security. Certified dementia care facilities provide a specialized environment that is designed and curated to establish friendly structures and healthy dynamics. Professional caretakers ensure that residents’ lives are not defined or restricted by their disease.
