Memory Care FacilitiesCatholic Eldercare On Main For elders with dementia or other memory concerns, Catholic Eldercare on Main's memory care unit provides an environment of comfort, acceptance, and freedom, where dignity is cherished and lives are enhanced. Our dedicated staff is continually educated and trained in the newest, best practices for interacting with residents in a careful, respectful manner. Activity programming is specially designed to nurture and encourage each individual to live every day to the fullest. Recognizing that each individual has unique requirements, our interdisciplinary team of caregivers collaborates closely with the resident, the resident's family, and the resident's physician to develop and coordinate an individualized, personalized care plan. This plan is created with utmost consideration for the resident's personal needs and wishes. Residents benefit from assigned personal aides, a commitment which strengthens the caregiver/resident relationship, and enhances the staff's understanding of the resident's wants and needs. Catholic Eldercare on Main also offers MnemeTherapy, if desired or needed by residents. This therapy program uses movement, singing, painting and other creative activities to stimulate dramatic changes in the brain. With MnemeTherapy, many who receive the treatment have shown improvement in verbal skills, mobility, spatial acuity, and other important areas. Residents of Catholic Eldercare on Main's memory care facilities are encouraged to take part in any or all of our optional, available activities. These activities include arts and crafts; weekly dances with live music; singalongs; exercise classes; games, bingo and cards; word games; movies; staff-facilitated reminisce groups; baking; and more.
