Caring for a loved one with dementia is a challenging journey, and finding the right support is crucial. The Evergreen memory care neighborhood at Arbor Terrace Crabapple was designed to provide specialized care that addresses the unique needs of residents with dementia and related disorders.
Understanding the Challenges of Dementia
Dementia presents significant challenges for both individuals and their families. While the condition is not reversible, there are measures that can help stabilize cognitive decline and greatly enhance quality of life. We recognize the importance of a supportive environment in managing these challenges. Our Evergreen memory care neighborhood is specifically designed to offer the care and social interaction that are essential for preserving cognitive function.
The Benefits of Shared Living Spaces
One of the key features of our Evergreen memory care neighborhood is the emphasis on shared living spaces. These areas, including reading and dining rooms, as well as activity spaces, provide residents with opportunities for sensory stimulation and social interaction. Research shows that these interactions can reduce symptoms like agitation and confusion, leading to a lower reliance on medication.
For families concerned about privacy, especially for residents who were previously more solitary, we ensure that privacy is respected during personal activities such as grooming and sleeping. At the same time, having a roommate can help combat feelings of loneliness and foster a comforting sense of companionship.
Tailored Care and Engaging Activities
Led by our Executive Director, Trisha Holloway, the Evergreen memory care neighborhood is dedicated to meeting the unique needs of each resident. With a smaller unit size, we maintain a higher staff-to-resident ratio, allowing for more personalized and attentive care. Our activities are specifically designed to engage residents throughout the day, with shorter, more frequent sessions that match their attention spans and specific needs.
Room Options for Comfort and Security
We offer both studio and shared rooms, providing options that suit the preferences and needs of our residents. Shared rooms are particularly beneficial for those who may feel anxious when alone, offering them the comfort and security of having another person nearby.
The Evergreen memory care neighborhood at Arbor Terrace Crabapple is a place where residents with dementia receive the specialized care they need in a nurturing and supportive environment. From personalized care to engaging activities and the benefits of shared living spaces, our program is designed to help residents thrive despite the challenges of dementia. We invite you to learn more about our memory care services and how we can support your loved one’s journey.
