Memory care for aggressive patients,
when home stops being safe.
Agitation, hitting out or refusing care are symptoms of the disease, not choices. They often ease in a quieter setting with fewer people and a steady routine.

Fewer triggers, more patience.
Noise, crowds, unfamiliar faces and rushed care are some of the most common triggers for aggression in dementia. Large facilities have a lot of all four.
In a Royal Garden home, a resident lives with a handful of others and sees the same caregivers every day. Caregivers have time to slow down, to notice what’s upsetting someone, and to try again later instead of pushing through.
What care looks like here.
- Small homes with up to six residents
- The same caregivers every day
- Caregivers on site 24 hours a day
- Secured perimeter, so residents can walk in the garden
- Routines built around each resident’s good and bad times of day
- Physician visits in the home
- Open conversations with families about behavior changes
- Help with bathing, dressing and meals at the resident’s pace

Questions families ask
Will you accept someone who has been aggressive?
Often, yes. It depends on the person and the behavior. Call us and describe what’s happening; we’ll tell you honestly whether we can help.
Why would a smaller home help with aggression?
Aggression in dementia is often a reaction to noise, confusion, or feeling rushed. A small home with familiar caregivers reduces those triggers.
My parent was just discharged from the hospital. Can you move quickly?
Hospital discharges often come with little notice. Call us as soon as you know and we’ll tell you what’s available.
