Memory Care
You are not alone. A recent study suggests that as many as 5 million Americans 65 and over have Alzheimer’s disease. Since the US population is aging and the risk of Alzheimer’s increases with age, you can see how important it is to have the proper support and care when managing this disease.
What is Dementia? Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability. Dementia is not a specific disease, it’s an overall term that describes a wide range of symptoms related to a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person’s ability to perform everyday activities.
What is Alzheimer’s? Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. For most people, symptoms first appear after age 60. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 50 to 80 percent of dementia cases.
Live Intentionally
Our staff believe that what they do is so much more than a job, it’s an opportunity – a passion – to serve others. We value and sustain memory care neighborhoods characterized by excellence. As fearless advocates for persons living with dementia, our team preserves dignity, shows love and provides opportunities for purposeful pursuits. Alzheimer’s and dementia are no reason to stop enjoying life. Our caregivers embrace the individuality of every resident and find great pleasure in getting to know the residents and families they serve. We believe everyone deserves a great life!
In daily life, our community offers:
Caring. We care deeply about whole person care. That is why we focus on growing our knowledge of dementia, how to support those living with it, and how to nurture all aspects of well-being. Our staff are expertly trained and empowered to provide the care people need, when and how they need it.
Engaging. We curate a lifestyle of purpose. Creating a cadence that inspires residents to live out their potential, we thoughtfully design each day with residents’ hobbies, interests, histories and unique abilities in mind. Inspiring residents to live intentionally isn’t just a philosophy, it’s what we do.
Connecting. We foster authentic connection by providing opportunities to get to know each other and share meaningful experiences for everyone who works, lives and visits our communities. It is the intentional touches like those of our “Feels like Home” and “Hands to Help” programs that go deeper in connecting people at the heart level. It’s a difference you can feel.
Choosing the right Memory Care community is an important decision. Often times, there are conflicting emotions that come into play. We have experience with this transition and feel that assisting in this process is as important as taking excellent care of you or your loved one. We can help you through this process.
