What is Memory Care
As our loved one’s age and grow beyond the abilities of assisted living, Memory care may be the next logical step depending on their needs and situation. Our Memory care communities are designed to provide a safe, structured environment with set routines that are proven to lower stress levels for people with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
Our clinical expertise and knowledge of dementia blended with our heartfelt compassion provides an environment where individuals living with dementia can thrive with dignity and purpose. We provide meals and help residents with personal care tasks, just like the staff at an assisted living community, but they are also CARE’s certified and trained to deal with the unique issues that often arise as a result of dementia or Alzheimer’s. Memory Care Residents receive more attentive and frequent check-ins, plus they provide an added level of structure and support to help them navigate their days. This is why we declare, “Better Care. Better Living.”
Better Care. Better Living.
It all starts with a community designed with memory care in mind. From the soothing colors and abundant lighting, to personalized spaces and safe outdoor access. Each community is furnished and decorated to create a warm and welcoming environment to help our residents feel safe and comfortable. We want to them feel as if they were still in their own home. This helps reduce anxiety, stress, and the discomfort of feeling like they are a long-term guest.
Our residents enjoy a calmer, more reassuring environment. We incorporate:
- Themed “neighborhoods” with distinctive colors, art, and furnishings help residents navigate their way around the community with ease.
- A bright, well-lit environment minimizes the agitation and anxiousness commonly associated with “sundowning.”
- Separate dining rooms designed to promote improved dignity and grace for residents who may require varying levels of assistance during mealtimes.
Each space encourages a sense of community and social engagement.
Inspired ConnectionsTM
Each of our communities provide your loved one with round-the-clock dementia care, 7 days a week. Every member of our staff is fully trained in Alzheimer’s and dementia care. But they don’t just understand the nature of dementia—they understand how to nurture those living with this disease. Thru Inspired Connections, a proprietary program, we strive to elevate the person beyond their diagnosis.
From the first assessment with the resident and their family to the transition to the community, the dementia care nurse is there to oversee and seamlessly coordinate the entire process. The nursing staff understands that clear communication with the resident’s family is essential as they deal with this difficult transition. Our nurses do more than care for our residents, they are keenly aware of and work to care for the family too, by explaining and preparing them for what they may expect as the disease progresses.
