Specialized Memory Care Services
Memory care isn’t just assisted living with extra steps. While assisted living supports daily needs, memory care requires specialized attention, not only for safety but also for dignity.
Residents with Alzheimer’s or dementia need caregivers trained in communication, environments designed to reduce confusion, and activities that engage fading skills without frustration. At The Residence at Colvin Run, we focus on exactly that: care that meets the person where they are. Here’s a closer look at what sets our program apart:
1. Personalized care plans: We create a unique care plan for each resident, focusing on their strengths, needs, and preferences. This helps ensure that they receive care that is not only effective but also meaningful.
2. 24/7 personal care staff: Our caregivers are always available to assist with daily needs, from bathing and dressing to managing medications. We’re here to ensure that every resident is comfortable, safe, and well-cared for at all times.
3. Meaningful activities: We provide a variety of activities that engage residents socially, emotionally, and cognitively. These activities are carefully selected to support residents in expressing themselves, whether they prefer verbal or non-verbal communication.
4. Behavioral support: We understand that memory loss can sometimes lead to challenging behaviors. Our approach is designed to reduce these challenges by encouraging positive behavior and providing strategies to manage difficult situations in a calm and supportive way.
5. Family education and support: We’re not just here for your loved one, we’re here for your whole family. Through our Life Stories Memory Care Support Groups, we offer educational resources and emotional support to help families navigate the journey of caring for someone with memory loss.
