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.
