The Benefits of Memory Care

Memory care residents at Laurel Cove also benefit from tailored activities and therapies designed to stimulate cognitive function and improve quality of life. These activities are not just about keeping residents occupied; they are carefully planned to engage the mind and provide a sense of purpose. These include:

• Music therapy
• Art classes
• Memory games
• Family storytelling

At Laurel Cove, our caregivers are skilled in handling the unique challenges that come with dementia and Alzheimer’s. They are patient, compassionate, and equipped to provide care that is both respectful and effective.

Laurel Cove’s Patient-Centered Approach to Memory Care

At Laurel Cove, we take a patient-centered approach to memory care, focusing on the individual needs, preferences, and history of each resident. We believe that every person has a story, and by understanding that story, we can provide care that is truly personalized. This approach begins with getting to know each resident—learning about their past, their likes and dislikes, and what brings them comfort.

We create daily schedules that reflect the resident’s previous lifestyle as much as possible, whether that means starting the day with a favorite song or winding down in the evening with a quiet activity they’ve always enjoyed. This individualized care helps residents feel more at home and less disoriented.

Family involvement is also a crucial component of our approach. We encourage families to share their insights and be as involved as they wish in their loved one’s care. By working together, we can create an environment where residents not only feel safe but also valued and understood.
