Memory Care Home Solutions

Memory Care Home Solutions is a nonprofit organization that exists to extend and improve quality time at home for families caring for a loved one with memory loss, dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Founded in 2002, and later funded through a generous grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health, Memory Care Home Solutions fills an in-home support and training void for caregivers. A Memory Care professional trains the family and professional caregiver team regarding safety of the living environment and provides strategies for addressing behavioral, independence and caregiver stress-related issues. Follow-up conferences and visits from Memory Care staff extend the service over the continuing years of the patient’s time at home. Washington University in St. Louis collaborates with the organization to evaluate outcome success. No diagnosis is necessary and services are made available regardless of inability to pay through individual donations and grant funding.
