Memory Care vs. Dementia Care: What's the Difference?

In-home memory care and dementia care share many similarities but have crucial differences.

Memory care – Professional support for individuals who need daily or weekly support managing daily tasks. Memory care can refer to in-home Alzheimer’s care givers, as well as support services for Parkinson’s and other memory-related health concerns.

Dementia care – Usually describes care for seniors with more advanced cases. These individuals require assistance completing everyday tasks.
