Alzheimer's and Dementia Care

Memory Care Living® Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Program

Memory Care Living® has a specialized program with strategies for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia. Communication strategies, validation therapy, redirection and behavior management are needed to insure a high quality of life can be experienced without the use of dangerous behavior modification drugs. Our care team recognizes and diffuses difficult situations as they arise before they can build, staying ahead of potential troublesome issues, and characteristic of the disease process.
The benefits of validation therapy and a daily schedule of enrichment activities are fully realized and employed by our family of employees. And Memory Care Living® has a unique understanding of medication management, behavioral challenges, sanitation, safety and emergency preparedness for complete and compassionate care.
Our employees appreciate the complexities of aging and the dementia disease progression. Employee longevity enables the staff to gain an intimate knowledge of residents’ personal habits and characteristics to enable them to spot problems quickly as they arise by recognizing subtle changes in residents’ condition. Many health or behavioral problems, when detected early can be managed by their physician allowing them to continue to function independently, and live in more comfort with a higher quality of life.

Respite Care

Everyone Deserves a Vacation

Respite Care for the Caregiver

A little respite goes a long way toward a healthy life balance.
Short breaks in the ongoing routine of caregiving can rejuvenate the caregiver with a well-deserved vacation, or making more time for family and friends. Or just getting a good night’s sleep!
At Memory Care Living®, dementia care is so much more than an isolated annex in a huge complex. It’s a warm and cozy home with the smell of home-cooked meals wafting from the kitchen.
And each one of our small and intimate communities is focused on knowing each individual’s preferences and personalities. We take the time to establish caring relationships with each of our residents.
Our communities are safe and secure. Our homes are fully equipped―inside and out―to thoroughly handle the concerns of dementia, with technological devices that safely manage wandering.

Our expert caretakers are specially trained in Alzheimer’s and dementia care issues. Our expert staff is available 24-hours a day to give prompt care, so our attention is always focused on our residents:

  • Medications are accurately managed to ensure proper and timely dosage.
  • Residents are carefully monitored to keep hydrated.
  • 3 balanced meals and snacks, planned by a registered dietitian, are lovingly prepared right in our own kitchens each day (including yummy home-baked snacks).
  • Housekeeping and laundry services are provided on a daily basis in all of our memory care homes.

So take your vacation break and relax knowing that your loved one is getting round-the-clock personal attention in a secure environment.
