Mary Johnson enjoyed a successful 30-year career as an architect, contributing to the designs of several notable buildings in her community. She raised two children and was a proud grandmother of three. However, after retiring, her interactions with family and friends became less frequent, despite living close to her children.

In her mid-60s, neighbors began to notice changes in Mary’s behavior. Conversations became difficult, and she often seemed unaware of current events. She struggled to remember the names of her children, and her once-engaging gaze had become distant and confused. On a winter morning, a neighbor found Mary outside inappropriately dressed for the cold. Unable to reach her family, the police were contacted, and by the end of the day, Mary’s son had decided it was best for her to move to a safe, supportive facility.

Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease at 67, Mary required assistance with daily activities, especially with bathing, dressing, and maintaining a balanced diet. She had a strong preference for sweets, so her meals needed to be monitored. Dementia-related engagement activities helped her strengthen speech and cognitive skills.

Payment Plan: Mary’s care is funded through a combination of her retirement savings and Medicaid. Her son manages her financial affairs, ensuring she receives the care and support she needs in a safe environment.

Price: $5,100/month (Studio Room + Level 3 Care)
