Specialized Memory Care
If you or a loved one struggle with Alzheimer's, dementia or other memory problems, you need a care provider with special expertise necessary to help. Compassionate caregiving benefits the resident on so many levels. Our memory care staff have an affinity for this population and truly understand how important their role is in the treatment of this disease. We provide high-quality care without the use of unnecessary chemical or physical restraints. Our staff is specially trained, and the environment and programming are designed to enhance feelings of identity and security, utilizing music, socialization and familiar activities of daily living all within a secured setting.
Family members are important and are included in the plan of care. Family members are encouraged to participate in the daily life and care of their loved one. Both the resident and family are treated as a single unit because our professional belief is that family involvement is a strong attribute of quality care. The family’s knowledge of their loved one is an important link in the plan of care.
Specialized Memory Care includes a wing for those whose wandering puts them at risk. Freedom of movement, socialization and specialized programming provide the environment necessary for residents to achieve their maximum social, mental, physical and spiritual potential.
