Dementia assisted living in Kansas City offers aging adults with memory loss to live independently as much as they are able, but still receive the specific type of care their health requires. The goal is to enable residents to remain active and engaged in a dignified, comfortable and supervised environment.

Independence

Seniors in dementia assisted living facilities require very little personal care, such as help with managing medications and the activities of daily living (bathing, dressing and cooking, for example). Many have an active social life, are still able to drive a vehicle and travel without problems. People live long and rewarding lives in a dementia assisted living residence post-diagnosis.

Support System

Once a person is diagnosed with dementia, it is of vital importance to have a support system in place that respects a person’s dignity and treats them with respect and kindness. Dementia assisted living facilities integrate trained personnel and family members to provide a well-rounded, solid supportive environment. Residents can count on their support team to check on them frequently, help with the activities of daily living when needed and provide socialization opportunities. Surrounding themselves with the right support system is key to living the best life people with dementia can.

Physical Activity

Leading a physically active lifestyle can have a very positive impact on the well-being of people living with dementia. Physical therapy can improve their quality of life by advancing both physical and mental health. The benefits of physical activity is far-reaching during all stages of the disease.

Physical therapy can focus on specific physical activities that are enjoyable and meaningful while also promoting a sense of purpose, such as playing sports games, gardening or performing housekeeping activities.

People with dementia have a higher risk of falling, hospitalization and other medical complications due to decreased muscle strength, gait instabilities, decreased balance and cognitive issues. In the early stages of dementia, physical therapy promotes increased functional independence in daily activities. Physical therapy is even more imperative in the later stages to maintain a person’s current abilities while slowing the rate of further functional decline.

Social Activities & Healthy Eating

Eating healthy food is more important for people with dementia. Maintaining familiar routines and serving favorite foods can help the person know what to expect and feel more relaxed.

The Right Dementia Assisted Living Facility

Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease make it almost impossible for a person to manage the activities of daily living at home, even with live-in care. Memory loss and the inability to continue living at home are severely impacted. Dementia is a progressive disease that only gets worse with time, thus it is vital that senior adults receive adequate care. When they, or their family, look at options for dementia assisted living, while there are many facilities that offer assisted living – not all of them offer dementia care specifically. A dementia care facility in Kansas City that offers appropriate housing and specialized care that older adults with dementia require is the better choice.
