Alzheimer's and Dementia Care
If you have a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s, you
understand the challenges of normal daily activities. Symptoms of
Alzheimer’s disease may be further complicated by injuries, illness
or end-of-life needs. Through our Enhanced Alzheimer’s Care*, our
teams help each person maximize his or her quality of life.
*Only available at select
locations.
Clinical Excellence
The caregivers in our Alzheimer's Care Units are specifically
trained to understand the unique skills required to care for
Alzheimer’s patients, including those who may have sustained an
injury or undergone surgery. Our nurses and therapists are trained
to understand patient ability levels and communication techniques.
Plus, specially developed physical therapy programs are delivered
on an inpatient basis as part of our Enhanced Alzheimer’s Care.
Therapeutic Innovation
We provide a nurturing and therapeutic environment where those
with dementia or Alzheimer’s can receive the clinical and
rehabilitation care they need in a safe and secure setting. The
overall environment – from the décor to the meals to the quiet
atmosphere – is intended to help create a soothing, homelike
setting.
We use the latest Alzheimer’s and dementia research to create
care plans. We also implement quality of life therapies such as
healing touch, music therapy and aromatherapy.
Smooth Transitions
Moving from home to another location can be difficult and
confusing for those with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Our Partners in
Transition program helps people move between care settings more
easily with personalized guidance, planning and attention. Your
loved one will be more likely to quickly adjust to new
surroundings.
Paying for Care
Many financial resources may be available to cover the cost of
care for someone with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Depending on
circumstances, Medicare may cover some of the cost of care.
Medicaid or private insurance may also cover the cost of care. Read
