A recent study showed that almost 10% of U.S. adults 65+ have dementia, with 22% dealing with mild cognitive impairment. These individuals require specialized treatments to ensure overall well-being in an assisted living facility.
Seeing a loved one struggling with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other memory-related conditions can be devastating. Here at Commonwealth Royale Senior Living, we understand the unique challenges of memory loss and the impact it has on families, which is why we strive to be an assisted living facility that specializes in providing compassionate and specialized programs.
Here’s how we go the extra mile to care for your loved ones dealing with memory loss and related conditions:
Tailored to Each Resident
Some assisted living facilities take a “one size fits all” approach to memory care, but at Commonwealth Royale, we know that’s simply not an option. No two situations are the same, and we take a comprehensive approach to ensuring each and every resident is given a specialized program to meet their unique needs.
Secure and Safe Environment
Safety and security are paramount for memory care patients. As told by the Alzheimer’s Association, a safe and secure environment is essential to preventing injuries and helping individuals feel more relaxed. In turn, this can help them retain independent living for a longer period.
At Commonwealth Royale Senior Living, we take extra steps to create a safe and secure environment for our memory care senior residents. Our layout is designed to be easy to navigate, complete with soothing colors and familiar decor. We also provide enclosed outdoor spaces to ensure our residents can enjoy the beauty of nature.
To maintain security, our staff is on campus round-the-clock. We also have secured entry doors to ensure nobody goes in and out without our knowledge.
Engaging Activities and Therapy
Our senior living facility boasts a wealth of activities for seniors, and many of our options are suitable and beneficial for memory care patients. For example, we offer music therapy and art activities, both of which are highly advantageous for memory loss patients. According to the MJHS Foundation, music can reduce agitation and improve behavior while art can give individuals a sense of accomplishment while serving as a reminder of a specific event or emotion.
As far as therapies are concerned, our senior assisted living facility offers a vast range catered to memory loss patients. Therapies such as reminiscence therapy, which is geared toward recalling past events, can help patients struggling with memory loss. Beyond that, this type of therapy improves self-esteem, reduces unwanted behaviors, decreases stress, and increases quality of life.
Emphasis on Family Involvement
Commonwealth Royale knows that family involvement is paramount. Not only does it help with the well-being and success of our memory-loss residents, but it can help families cope with the situation.
We emphasize family involvement at every step:
- Our support groups can help families connect with other individuals in similar situations, learning new ways to adapt and cope.
- Our education resources provide valuable information and tools for families to help their loved ones in their time of need.
- We encourage regular communication between staff and family members to ensure everyone is feeling supported, empowered, and most importantly, comfortable.
