One of the hallmarks of dementia is the difficulty in remembering familiar places and people. Hence, it is understandably quite frustrating for our loved ones when they are confused and unable to recall what they need to do daily. In certain circumstances, we might struggle to remain productive at work as we worry about our loved ones at home. If you are considering Memory Care in Englewood, FL, for your loved one, you will be glad to know that we offer a personalized and holistic approach to dementia care.
24/7 Access to Professional Caregivers
We understand how tricky it can be when it comes to offering medication to your loved ones with dementia. You might encounter refusal or aggressive behavior that you do not know how to handle. Some of us might even lose our cool. In our Memory Care community, you can rest assured that we have professional caregivers who will see to your loved one’s medication needs.
Compassionate Care
Our experienced team members are well-versed in the progression of different types of dementia and understand how dementia affects the mental well-being of your loved one. There is often a deeper underlying fear or emotion behind a refusal to take medication or being insistent on taking the wrong dosage of the medicine prescribed. We approach such situations gently with much tact and compassion.
Engaging the Mind
When caring for residents with advanced dementia, it is important to engage their minds so that their condition does not take away their sense of autonomy. Our carefully developed curriculum of activities allows the residents to rediscover their independence, self-esteem and morale by involving them in low-impact physical exercises and stimulating mental activities. When our residents are engaged in activities and with the people around them, it helps to take their minds off negative or worrying thoughts.
Establishing Routines
Patients with dementia will struggle to remember what happened the day before and may even forget to eat! Knowing how to handle these situations in households where everyone is busy with their lives can be challenging. Hence, our loved ones with dementia often experience feelings of displacement. That is why in Memory Care, we emphasize routines for our residents because consistency and regularity help create a sense of security and make our residents less anxious about forgetting things.
Strong Support Network
Suffering from dementia and other memory-related ailments can be a lonely experience. Getting all the care and help our loved ones need and knowing that they are understood by our nurturing team can make a great difference in how they view the world as a less threatening place. Our friendly caregivers always check in with our residents to ensure all their needs are met and are quick to render help as and when required. We treat our residents with dignity, care, tenderness and respect, just like how we would treat our family members.
