When is Placement Needed?

For those with dementia each journey is unique and individual. Some are able to remain in their home with services and family support while others find their needs may be best met within an assisted living facility. Families often ask, “How do I know when it is time to seek placement?” The answer to this question varies from family to family and is often based on existing support systems and financial, emotional, physical and spiritual conditions. When families question placement we can help. Emerald Crest’s team of professionals can help answer you questions and assist in facilitating a smooth transition when care at home is no longer the best option. Below is a questionnaire to use when you are determining the best placement option. You can also contact us directly at 952-908-2215 with any questions you may have.
