Senior Downsizing and Residential Care Homes
If you’re new to the term, residential care homes are facilities specifically geared towards those who suffer from Alzheimer’s and Dementia-related diseases. These care facilities not only offer a safe place but also a unique environment to help improve quality of life but also focus on reducing the effects of the disease like memory loss or wandering.
But what exactly is a memory care home and what type of services do they offer?
- Round the clock care – your loved one will be watched over 24/7 to ensure their safety and prevent wandering off
- Activities for the mind – we provide activities and exercise to help maintain and improve the memory
- Medication management – our trained and knowledgeable staff are there to help make sure medication is taken correctly
- Laundry and housekeeping – we’re there to take care of the little day-to-day things that need to be taken care of
- Transportation – we’re there to help assist your loved ones to and from appointments and outings
- Meals – we serve balanced and nutritious meals
- Incontinence – unfortunately with this disease can cause some to become incontinent and some need to wear diapers, we are able to handle that and do so with dignity
- Personal care – with this disease, as it progresses, it can get harder and harder to do things for yourself and to take care of you so our friendly staff are here to assist with whatever you need
- Mobility – whether it’s an extra handrail for the bathroom or it’s time to get a walker or chair we’re here to help
