At Encore Communities, we know that every person living with dementia has their own rhythm and preferences.
We offer flexible and personalized memory care programs that cater to the individual needs and interests of our residents. Our programs are designed to provide support and stimulation on a consistent schedule, while respecting the dignity and autonomy of our residents.
Here is an example of what a typical day in memory care looks like:
- 8:00-9:30 Breakfast and morning routines. Our residents start the day with a nutritious and delicious breakfast, and then complete their morning routines with the help of our staff. Some residents may choose to take a shower, brush their teeth, or get dressed, while others may prefer to relax in their rooms or in the common areas.
- 9:30-11:30 Group and individual activities. Our residents participate in a variety of activities that stimulate their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Some of the activities include listening to music, making art, gardening, exercise, or playing games. Our staff also provide individualized attention and care to each resident, based on their Life Story and preferences.
- Noon-2:00 Lunch and quiet time. After a balanced lunch, residents enjoy some quiet time. Some residents may choose to take a nap, watch TV, or listen to music, while others may opt to join a group activity or chat with a friend.
- 2:30-4:30 More group and individual activities. Our residents continue to engage in meaningful and enjoyable activities that suit their abilities and interests. Our staff also check on each resident and provide any assistance or support they may need.
- 5:00-6:00 Our residents enjoy a wholesome dinner, and then socialize with their peers and staff. Some residents may choose to share their life stories while others may prefer to watch a movie.
- 6:30-8:00 After-dinner activities. Our residents wind down with some relaxing and fun activities that prepare them for a good night’s sleep. Our staff also help each resident with their bedtime routines and ensure they are comfortable and safe.
We invite you to visit us and see for yourself how our memory care programs enrich the lives of our residents and their families.
