Memory Care
Program

Our Specialized Approach:

Our multidisciplinary team works together to create a calm, supportive environment:

• Skilled Nursing: Monitors medication compliance, addresses underlying medical issues (like UTIs) that can worsen confusion, and coordinates with neurologists or geriatricians.
• Physical Therapists (PT): Focuses on maintaining strength, flexibility, and coordination to preserve mobility and prevent falls—a critical risk as spatial perception changes. We utilize muscle memory and repetitive training to help patients retain the ability to walk, stand, and transfer safely, even as short-term memory declines.
• Occupational Therapists (OT): Provides expertise in dementia adaptation, our OTs modify tasks and the home environment to match the patient’s cognitive abilities, maximizing their success in daily living.
• Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP): Assesses and treats swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) often associated with advanced dementia, and develop communication boards or strategies to help patients express their needs.
• Medical Social Workers: Assists families in planning for the long term, including navigating legal resources, community support groups, and future care transitions.
