One way to approach finding the right level of senior care for a loved one suffering from Alzheimer's disease or dementia is to first understand whether the individual is in the early, middle or late stages of the affliction.
Early-stage care-giving, for example, may require a lighter level of assistance, during a time in which the senior may still be able to function independently, whereas those in later stages of Alzheimer's disease may have difficulty walking and eating, and are more susceptible to infections; especially pneumonia.It's important to match the level of care with the stage of the disease or dementia.

Independent-living communities, often referred to as Retirement Communities or congregate-living communities, are specifically designed senior centers with the needs and interests of independent senior adults in mind. Such communities are planned and developed in an apartment- or condominium-like setting with 24-hour on-site supervision and care.
Senior apartment living, a type of independent senior living, provides seniors with an independent lifestyle while offering a moderate level of help for seniors, such as daily assistance with essential necessities and services. Unlike standard apartment complexes, senior apartments are age restricted - usually starting at 55 or 62 years of age.
