Overview of Arkansas Memory Care

Beyond the usual amenities available in most senior care facilities, Arkansas memory care communities provide unique services specially designed for those suffering from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Some of these features include color-coded hallways for easy navigation, safe wandering paths, graphic signs, visual cues, and secure entrances and exits to prevent accidental harm.

Additionally, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging is at the forefront of Alzheimer’s research. The state of Arkansas provides financial incentives for those caring for sufferers of Alzheimer’s, including the Family Assistance Program grant and the Family Caregiver Support grant to defray the costs of caring for seniors requiring special attention.

The average cost of memory care in Arkansas is $3,792 per month. This is higher than the national average which is $2,958 per month.
