What is Senior Memory Care?

Senior memory care is a type of specialized care designed for elderly individuals who have memory impairments, such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. A search for a senior memory care facility in Kansas City can be exhausting, and most may not know exactly what to look for. We know it’s difficult when the time comes to place your loved one into someone else’s care, but there are things that you should keep in mind when searching for and placing your loved one in a senior memory care facility.

Senior memory care facilities offer a secure and supportive environment where residents can receive round-the-clock care from trained staff who are experienced in working with individuals with memory loss. Senior memory care typically includes personalized care plans that cater to each resident’s unique needs and preferences, as well as activities and programs that are designed to enhance cognitive functioning and promote socialization. Senior memory care facilities also often have special safety features, such as secured entrances and exits, and may offer specialized services, such as medication management and assistance with activities of daily living. The goal of senior memory care is to provide residents with a high level of care and support while also promoting their overall well-being and quality of life.

Nutrition also plays a vital part in the overall health of seniors, and our senior memory care provides healthy, nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day. Proper nutrition fuels the body to recover from stress and other medical ailments, as well as keeps the body strong. We focus on healthy, home cooking with an in-house cook who provides weekly meal planning and cooking classes for our residents. Families are encouraged to become involved in their loved one’s daily lives by visiting frequently and joining in some of the many life enrichment activities, such as the aforementioned cooking classes, picnic-style lunches on the grounds, group singing, playing board games and the Pets-for-Life program. The quality of the in-house staff directly correlates to the quality of care your loved one receives. Senior memory care requires a professional on staff at all hours. At Clover Care Home, we provide a 24-hour professional staff, including licensed nurses, medical management, a house manager, and monthly visits from a physician or practitioner. Our dementia nursing care team understands that familiar objects have the power to give a resident a sense of belonging and safety. We want our residents to have familiar objects around them to keep them from being disoriented for too long, and to have a sense of home.
