Memory CareCatholic Eldercare On Main For elders with dementia, Catholic Eldercare On Main’s memory-care floor provides an environment of comfort, acceptance and freedom where dignity is cherished and lives are enhanced. Our dedicated memory care staff is continually educated and trained in how to best interact with residents in a careful, respectful manner. Activity programming is specifically designed to nurture and encourage each individual to live each day to the fullest. Recognizing that each individual is unique, an interdisciplinary team of caregivers collaborates with the resident, their family and physician to develop and coordinate an individualized care plan. This plan is designed with utmost support for the residents’ personal needs and wishes. Residents benefit from assigned personal aides, a commitment that strengthens the caregiver relationship and enhances the staff’s understanding of the resident’s wants and needs. Memo: Catholic Eldercare cares for many individuals who have Alzheimer’s Disease or other related disorders, therefore we conduct memory loss training to our staff upon hire and annually. All staff including administration, business office, development, beauty shop, dining services, maintenance, human resources, laundry, nursing, receptionists, physical and occupational therapies, social services, pastoral care, therapeutic recreation and volunteer services are required to receive this training. A two-hour memory loss in-service is also mandatory for any employee working directly on third floor. This in-service takes place within three months of the new employee’s hire date. The training encompasses the following: This has been our policy and practice since 2004. RiverVillage East RiverVillage East offers assisted living level of memory care, where staff assists adults with early to middle stages of memory loss. Each resident lives in their own private apartment so they enjoy their independence while having the reassurance of 24-hour staff nearby to assist them as needed. The memory care staff have created stimulating programs and activities designed specifically for memory impaired seniors. The surroundings feel like home where your loved one is able to move around freely and safely within the memory care floor enjoying companionship, activities and meals in one of the community rooms. They are also invited to special activities and events within the assisted living residence. |
