In these situations, the variety of memory care programs that are available in Lewisville can be a solution.
Most specialty Alzheimer’s programs have a goal of allowing residents to do as much for themselves as they are able to, while providing a safe and secure environment.

This makes finger foods an easier option than those that require the use of utensils.
