Dementia statistics are rising as the senior age population booms. Recognizing when your loved one is living with problems beyond occasional forgetfulness is crucial to providing them with a good life.
What are the warning signs of dementia?
According to The Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Health San Antonio, dementia symptoms include:
- Persisting and declining memory loss
- Difficulty thinking and concentrating
- Difficulty making decisions or responding appropriately to everyday situations
- Familiar or routine activities becoming difficult to remember or complete
- Changes in personality and behavior
Exhibiting one of these signs does not mean an automatic dementia diagnosis. A combination of some of them may be an alert to visit your doctor. Find resources near you and more information from the Biggs Institute.

What is a memory care community?
Regarding care facilities in San Antonio, TX, there are various options available to meet the unique needs of seniors. One type of care that is becoming increasingly popular is memory care.
Assisted living and memory care are similar in providing caretakers and specialized activities for residents. However, there are a few key differences that set memory care apart.
- Caretakers in a memory care facility are trained to work with residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia.
- Memory care facilities typically have more robust security measures in place to protect residents from wandering and getting lost.
- Memory care communities often offer higher care than assisted living, including more personalized attention and around-the-clock supervision.
- Memory care can be an ideal option for seniors who need a little extra help but still want to maintain their independence.
Residents living in senior care of all kinds enjoy everything from health care to educational programs. However, memory care provides extra focused attention on improving quality of life.
