What are the residential options for a person with dementia who is declining?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Residential options: People with most dementias deteriorate slowly and require progressivly more restrictve and safer environments. Some options include living with a relative who can provide reminders and transportation, transitioning to an assisted living facility or nursing care center, and finally there are specific dementia units available and nursing homes. You should look into each of these options carefully.
