Maximizing Quality of Life

Knowing when it is time to place your loved one in a secure memory care facility can be a challenge for any family. In some situations, it may be recommended to move a loved one into our assisted living community and allow them to benefit from the supportive care and daily structure to acclimate to community living and maximize quality of life. As individual needs increase, a resident with progressing dementia can plan to later move into our secure memory care unit, which is located on the second floor of our community.

Age In Place

We are proud to offer personalized care for residents who have all stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s. Additionally, under our enhanced assisted living license, we are able to provide several skilled nursing services including incontinence management, diabetic care, transfer assistance, among others and can accommodate specialized diets including mechanical soft and thickened liquids. This allows our memory care residents to age in place and stay with us for longer than an assisted living facility is typically able to offer.

Specialized Activities

As memory care professionals, we know that the best treatment for dementia is to keep our residents engaged in the present moment as much as possible through therapeutic and specialized activities and outings. Here is a sampling of our current offerings:

Regular Religious Services

Musical Performances

Daily Games Such as Bingo, Bowling and Balloon Toss

Spa and Wellness Activities

Daily Exercise and Regular Outdoor Walks

Gardening and Bird Watching

Arts and Crafts

When to Seek Secure Memory Care

If you are seeking placement in a secure memory care setting, we suggest that you consider placement in a locked memory care unit when your loved is:

No longer easily redirected

No longer able to care for her/himself independently

Not able to rely solely on prompting and cues

May have some behavioral outbursts

If your loved one needs supervision and structure and would benefit from communal dining, hourly checks and regular assistance with personal care, our assisted living setting may be more appropriate.

Family Resources

We encourage regular visitation from family and friends and suggest that family members bring photos and personal items for their loved one’s room that are familiar and will provide comfort such as a special blanket, photos or art work for the wall or a favorite chair.
