🚨 Paying thousands of $$$$$$$ Does NOT Mean Higher Care

There is something happening in senior housing that families need to understand.

Some Boarding Homes are charging $6,000 per month while NOT providing hands-on personal care.

Before you agree to any placement, ask these questions:

• Who provides bathing, dressing, and toileting assistance?

• Is there awake staff at night?

• What is the caregiver to resident ratio?

• What happens if care needs increase?

• Is this home licensed or unlicensed?

• What exactly is included in the monthly fee?

Paying $6,000 does NOT automatically mean higher care.

In many cases, families are paying premium prices for room and meals only.

The right home is about VALUE and SAFETY, not marketing or promises.

If you are being quoted pricing and you are unsure what you are paying for, message me. I will help you understand your options.

What is Vascular dementia?

Vascular dementia is the second most common type of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease. It happens when the brain is damaged because it doesn’t get enough blood and oxygen. This damage is usually caused by problems with the blood vessels in the brain

🔴 What Causes Vascular Dementia?

Vascular dementia is linked to conditions that reduce or block blood flow to the brain, including:
• Stroke (large or small)
• Mini-strokes (TIAs)
• Narrowed or damaged blood vessels
• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• High cholesterol
• Heart disease
• Smoking

Sometimes the damage happens suddenly (after a stroke), or gradually over time due to ongoing poor circulation.

⚠️ Symptoms of Vascular Dementia

Symptoms can vary depending on which part of the brain is affected. Common signs include:
• Slowed thinking and processing
• Problems with planning, organising, or decision-making
• Difficulty concentrating
• Memory problems (often less severe early on than in Alzheimer’s)
• Changes in mood (depression, apathy, anxiety)
• Problems with balance or walking
• Speech or language difficulties

💡 Symptoms often appear suddenly or worsen in steps, rather than gradually.

🧩 Types of Vascular Dementia
• Post-stroke dementia – develops after a major stroke
• Multi-infarct dementia – caused by many small strokes over time
• Subcortical vascular dementia – affects deep brain areas and is often linked to long-term high blood pressure
• Mixed dementia – vascular dementia combined with Alzheimer’s disease (very common)

🩺 How Is Vascular Dementia Diagnosed?

Diagnosis may include:
• Medical history and cognitive assessments
• Brain scans (MRI or CT)
• Blood tests
• Review of stroke risk factors

There is no single test — diagnosis looks at brain changes plus symptoms.

💊 Treatment and Management

There is no cure, but treatment focuses on slowing progression and preventing further damage:
• Managing blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes
• Medications to reduce stroke risk
• Healthy diet and regular exercise
• Cognitive stimulation and routines
• Support for mental health and wellbeing

Early diagnosis can make a big difference.

❤️ Living With Vascular Dementia

With the right support, many people continue to live meaningful lives. Helpful approaches include:
• Clear routines and structure
• Practical support with daily tasks
• Emotional support for both the person and carers
• Education and understanding from family and community

🌱 Key Takeaway

Vascular dementia is preventable in some cases by protecting heart and blood vessel health. What’s good for the heart is good for the brain.

⭐️ Benefits of Licensed Assisted Living

• Credibility & Trust
Licensing signals to families and residents that your facility meets state standards for safety, staffing, and care. This builds confidence and makes your home more marketable.

• Ability to Provide Personal Care
Licensed facilities can legally assist with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and medication management. Unlicensed homes cannot provide these services without risking penalties.

• Access to Medicaid & VA Benefits
Licensed facilities can participate in Medicaid waiver programs and accept veterans’ benefits like Aid & Attendance, which helps residents afford cares Unlicensed homes are excluded from these funding streams.

• Higher Revenue Potential
Because licensed facilities can offer more comprehensive care, they can charge premium rates and attract residents with greater needs.

• Regulatory Oversight & Protection
While inspections may feel burdensome, they also protect operators by ensuring compliance with fire safety, infection control, and staffing ratios. This reduces liability and strengthens your reputation.

• Expansion Opportunities
Licensed facilities can scale more easily, adding specialized services (e.g., memory care certification) and marketing themselves openly as “assisted living.”
