Overview of Kentucky Memory Care

The state of Kentucky requires by law that adult residential communities provide 24-hour care to senior residents, as well as meals, social activities and transportation. These and more are the types of services one should expect at a Kentucky memory care community. For additional support, there are also local resource groups like the Greater Kentucky/Southern Indiana Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. The Association aims to provide families with the care and support that they need, as well as provide information and help by raising money for further research into the disease. The Sanders-Brown Center on Aging at the University of Kentucky is one of the leading centers on aging, and has dedicated over 25 years to the research on Alzheimer’s disease.

The average cost of memory care in Kentucky is $4,403 per month. This is higher than the national average which is $2,958 per month.
