4 Characteristics of an Excellent Memory Care Facility
Dementia affects many people worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, more than 55 million people deal with its effects today. Dementia affects not just individuals, but also many families that have to watch them lose precious memories and identities.
Fortunately, a memory care facility can help; but what are the characteristics of the best ones?
1. Personalized Care Plans
Each person who comes to a memory care facility is unique. They have their own history, dreams, and memories.
Our staff at the Pointe at Meridian memory care facilities recognize that, and they come up with a specialized care plan that will help the residents retain as much of themselves as possible.
2. Engaging Activities
Partaking in engaging activities can help residents keep a sense of who they are. Stimulating their brain will help with activating and preserving memories.
Our memory care team will be creating activities that are built around each resident, rather than just providing them with activities to pass the time.
3. Well-Trained Staff
The Pointe at Meridian staff is the most important part of our memory care facilities. They keep everything flowing smoothly and are well-trained to be able to handle any situation that might arise.
Our staff prioritizes treating our residents with kindness and respect, and our memory care team running the facilities will always be thorough and empathetic throughout every situation we encounter while assisting your loved ones.
4. Nurturing Environment
There are a few other core characteristics to look for in a memory care facility for your loved ones that The Pointe at Meridian exemplifies. We include a seamless integration of assisted living and memory care, and also the presence of a therapeutic environment, like our gardens and sensory rooms. These will be places where our residents can have peace and alone time if they so desire.
Memory care doesn’t just help our residents, but also their families since they will get to see their loved ones be themselves for longer.
