Our fully trained staff gets to know your loved one – their history, likes and dislikes, and preferred schedule. This nurturing relationship often improves interactions, helps reduce anxiety or behavior problems, and can result in a reduction in medication needs.
Assisted living and memory care are quite different. For people who are cognitively challenged, whether from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, assisted living won’t be the right choice. This is because those with memory loss require a higher level of care and security than those who simply need help with activities of daily living.
Memory care residences at Eastcastle Place are designed to ensure residents feel safe and secure. Our program is structured to build confidence in an environment that promotes choice and celebrates accomplishments.
There aren’t any specific guidelines to determine when someone is ready for memory care; that decision lies with the family and/or caregivers.
Because dementia is progressive, symptoms will worsen with time, and professional intervention will be needed.
