Deciding when the right time to help transition a loved one to a dementia care facility can seem daunting, but sometimes it becomes truly necessary to ensure they receive the level of care they need. Here are questions to ponder and help you determine if now is the right time to consider transitioning your loved one to Desert Cottages’ dementia care facility.

Is the Safety Of the Person With Dementia Or My Own Health as a Caregiver At Risk?

Ensuring the safety and well-being of your loved one with dementia is paramount, but it's also crucial to consider your own health. Dementia can sometimes lead to behavioral issues like combativeness and aggressiveness, which can pose risks.

At Desert Cottages, our dementia care facility is equipped with advanced security features and calming interior designs to provide a secure and soothing environment and ease the transition for those with dementia.

Am I Struggling to Balance Caregiving Responsibilities With Work, Family, and Self-care?

As dementia progresses, the level of care required increases, often becoming overwhelming for family doubling as caregivers. While home care is preferred by many, eventually, round-the-clock supervision in a specialized dementia care facility becomes necessary. Desert Cottages offers tailored dementia care in a supportive environment, allowing you to focus on your well-being and obligations.

Would the Structure and Social Interaction at a Dementia Care Facility Benefit the Person With Dementia?

Desert Cottages’ facilities prioritize creating a supportive community environment. Our specially designed spaces encourage social interaction and mental stimulation, promoting overall well-being. Whether your loved one enjoys group activities or prefers quiet time, our dementia care facilities cater to diverse needs.

After thoughtful consideration of your unique circumstances, if you're contemplating a transition to a dementia care facility, Desert Cottages is here to provide compassionate care. Reach out to us today to explore our services and inquire about our Summer Move-In Specials!
