Watching a loved one struggle with dementia is one of the hardest things you can go through.
You may feel like the person you love is slowly slipping away, even while they sit opposite you at the dinner table, looking the same as ever
For many, changes in personality, confusion, and memory loss are just as heartbreaking as the physical struggles their loved one experiences. You may feel exhausted, hopeless and uncertain about how you can help and support the person you love.
While there is no easy way through this process, you don’t have to face it alone.
Our brains are unique places, shaped by our biology, environment, and life experiences.
When a person develops a degenerative brain disease such as dementia or Alzheimer’s, their symptoms will be unique as well. No two people have the same experience, which is why no two care plans should look alike.
That’s why our memory care facility has developed a highly focused system of care that is centered around the individual, intentionally tailored to their physical, emotional, and psychological wants and needs.
From the most minute of details, to big routine care decisions, every component of our community is designed to provide the personalized support, comfort, and security your loved one deserves, in order to live their best life possible.
I am honored and proud to be able to have a positive impact on the daily lives of our residents here at Serene Suites. It is important to me to provide my best effort to serve our seniors with excellent and nutritious meals so as to help them have their best possible day…….every day
People suffering from dementia often struggle to communicate. Art offers a safe, creative outlet for residents to express their feelings and emotions. We offer the Opening Minds through Art (OMA) program, which is a failure-free program that provides opportunities for creative self-expression and social engagement.
Given not only the link between cognitive performance and physical activity, but also the therapeutic effects of walking and exploring, we offer a number of guided physical activities residents can engage in safely.
Weight loss is a major concern for people suffering from dementia. Our philosophy about food is that it should look and smell amazing – enticing residents to want to eat.
Fresh meals are prepared for breakfast, lunch and dinner by an experienced chef who understands the foods that support brain health.
We have a state of the art kitchen for preparing daily meals, and residents have access to kitchens on every floor, complete with cool-touch technology to keep them safe.
No two people suffering from dementia have the same experience. And for that reason, none of our care plans are exactly the same.
To tackle dementia effectively, our memory care facility focuses on developing deeply personalized, dynamic care plans, influenced by a number of factors, including your loved one’s personality, the stage of their illness, input from family and loved ones, medical history, and much more.
We then unite whole-body care practices with groundbreaking medical research, to immediately begin elevating your loved one’s quality of life, from the moment they join our memory care community.
