Memory Care

Holistic training and support
for patients, families and staff

The Importance of Holistic Memory Care

Watching a parent, spouse, relative or patient suffering from the progressive effects of Alzheimer’s or dementia can be both heart wrenching and frustrating. The overall goal of good memory care is to maintain the safety, dignity, and independence of the people it serves. Studies show that seniors with dementia who are actively participating in memory care programs experience a higher quality of life, see improvements with sundowning and have a reduced need for medication.
