Claude’s wife has dementia. When the stress of caregiving became too much, he made the painful decision to move his wife to memory care. With the no-cost, expert help of Assisted Living Locators Los Angeles, he found the right community for his family. Now, she’s much happier and he has his life back. His advice to others?
“Consider moving earlier and use help finding the right place.”
When Claude’s wife was first diagnosed with dementia, he took on the role of primary caregiver and kept her in the home with him. But as her disease progressed, caring for her got more complicated and time-consuming.
The constant stress of making sure his wife didn’t fall down the stairs, helping her bathe, feed, and perform everyday tasks, meant Claude only left the house once a week to go shopping. The situation became beyond what professional caregivers could handle.
“It was as bad as it can be and I hung on for too long,” Claude said.
With the help of his supportive daughters, he found guidance at Assisted Living Locators Los Angeles.
The thought of making this decision and navigating this complicated process without professional help didn’t make sense to Claude – It was too important. He worked with certified senior living experts to tour communities specializing in memory care and dementia to find the right fit for his family.
After much consideration, Claude’s family chose Silverado Beverly Place, a pioneer in the all-memory care community space with five LA-area locations. Residents with neurocognitive conditions not only have higher care and security needs than non-memory care assisted living residents but also benefit from programming designed to slow the progression of their disease. Silverado provides purpose-driven programming and care for residents at each level of disease progression. All staff members are dementia care certified and each location has a licensed nurse on-site at all times.
Now that his wife has moved in, not only does Claude have his life back, but his wife is happier too. And Assisted Living Locators’ service was no charge to Claude and his family.
