Caring for Seniors with Memory Loss
Senior Living Residences has helped families and their loved ones cope with dementia for over 15 years. We can offer your loved one a nurturing and secure environment where his or her emotional happiness, dignity and independence are supported and encouraged every day. Our innovative programming, expert staff and homelike environment offer individuals with memory loss the best quality of life and their families peace of mind. Professional and Compassionate Staff Our staff is vigorously trained to respond uniquely to each individual within our Memory Support Neighborhoods, ensuring the highest quality of life possible. Staff members are trained and certified by the Alzheimer’s Association of Massachusetts yearly. They also undergo monthly on-site training sessions conducted by internal management and outside qualified professionals. Senior Living Residences’ communities employ the “Habilitation Therapy” approach to memory care, which encourages positive emotions and minimizes difficult symptoms in spite of a person’s progressive limitations due to Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias. Our goal is to maximize each person’s functional independence and morale. For more information about “Habilitation Therapy,” click here. Personalized Care Services Senior Living Residences’ approach is to provide personal care services with compassion to uphold each resident’s dignity with the utmost respect. Our step-by-step cuing in a leisurely fashion reduces stress. Meals are served one course at a time to reduce confusion. Activities are created and scheduled in short increments of time that allow maximum participation and benefit for residents. To ensure the highest quality of personalized care, our interdisciplinary teams develop an individualized Wellness Care Plan for each resident with input from family members. A Wellness Care Plan includes: - Specific needs for personal care services, such as assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, incontinence support and medication management.
- A tailored exercise program and daily activity schedule which appeals to specific interests, such as cooking, painting or professionally based tasks.
- Special nutrition requirements.
Our professional staff closely monitors the health and service requirements of each resident and modifies the Wellness Care Plan regularly to meet changing needs.
