Memory care

An extended congregate care (ECC) licence lets a resident age in place: on top of standard assisted living services it covers limited nursing services, total help with bathing, dressing and toileting, and supervision of residents with dementia.quality.healthfinder.fl.gov
AHCA's advice: before signing a contract, ask what special services and activities the facility has for people with dementia, how staff are trained for it, and how it keeps residents from wandering off.quality.healthfinder.fl.gov
