Assessing Your Loved Ones Needs
When remaining at home is not an option for older adults due to Memory Care impairment a Memory Care Community setting might be appropriate for them. In order to identify which setting is best for our clients, We perform a comprehensive assessment which includes; Fall Risk Evaluation, Geriatric Depression evaluation, Self-Medication assessment, Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Pain and Skin assessments as needed.
