The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Fishers, IN for 2024

 

Alzheimer's is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, and experts report that the number of seniors with dementia is steadily growing. The city of Fishers has experienced this rise in dementia first-hand. According to the CDC, the number of Alzheimer's-related deaths in the city rose by 46.7% between 2016 and 2020 despite seniors accounting for just 10.7% of the population. Fortunately, dementia care is proven to improve the health and well-being of older adults experiencing memory loss, giving seniors and families hope.

Dementia care takes place in a communal, homelike setting with 24/7 safety monitoring. This secure environment protects residents from the confusion and wandering dementia may cause, allowing them to benefit from on-site enrichment programs that slow the progression of memory loss. Common programs include music therapy, social activities and cognitive therapies, all of which can help memory care residents live safer, more comfortable lives.

This guide includes useful information about memory care options in Fishers to help seniors and families create long-term care plans.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Fishers

Indiana's Department of Health operates the Residential Care Facility Licensing and Certification Program, which is responsible for monitoring memory care facilities throughout the state.

For added peace of mind, many memory care communities feature extensive safety monitoring systems, including cameras and secure entrances.

 

  • Air quality can have a major impact on seniors' health. Fortunately, the American Lung Association reports that the Fishers area has low pollution levels. As part of Hamilton County, the city generally has good ozone ratings and appropriate levels of particle pollution, contributing to a healthy living environment for older adults.
