This means 24\/7 support, help with activities of daily living (ADLs), and a community that is friendly to their needs.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does it Differ from other Senior Support?<\/h2>\n<p>Residents with memory care support benefit from the same amenities and services as most senior living facilities. Like personal space within an apartment, nutritional food and snacks, housekeeping, laundry, and support for other needs.<\/p>\n<p>What varies is the level of support available to them. Which means a special part of a community that is built and dedicated to providing specialized support.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243;

This includes features like a keypad-protected area<\/li>\n<li><strong>Specialized Care:<\/strong> Staff serving residents are empathic and specially trained to provide care to residents.

Increased socialization benefits residents by minimizing loneliness and isolation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Difference Between Memory and Dementia Care<\/h2>\n<p>Memory care providers focus on providing support to individuals with memory-related conditions. Which are specific to neurodegenerative conditions affecting memory.<\/p>\n<p>Dementia is a term that broadly describes a decline in brain function that comes with age.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of care, services overlap with most of the support provided. The variances lie in how the community supports the residents. Where caregivers provide support based on the needs specific to the resident.<\/p>\n<h2>Memory Care Activities<\/h2>\n<p>It is important to encourage residents to remain active and engaged. So, communities offer a variety of activities residents can enjoy. Activities can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Puzzles<\/li>\n<li>Gardening<\/li>\n<li>Board games<\/li>\n<li>Music<\/li>\n<li>Knitting<\/li>\n<li>Pet therapy<\/li>\n<li>Exercise<\/li>\n<li>Reading<\/li>\n<li>And more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tips for Choosing the Right Care<\/h2>\n<p>Finding the right care can feel like an overwhelming process. You must ensure that your loved one receives the care they need but can still enjoy their passions. That they have opportunities to spend time with friends and family but have options for quiet time.<\/p>\n<p>So, what do you consider during your search?<\/p>\n<h3>Amenities<\/h3>\n<p>Through your research, learn what the community offers residents. It is important to learn if the community features can meet the needs of your loved one.<\/p>\n<p>Take the layout, common spaces, apartments, support, and services offered into consideration. Community amenities should more than meet the needs of the residents.<\/p>\n<h3>Level of Care<\/h3>\n<p>Learn how the community determines the level of care residents require.<\/p>\n<p>The support they provide should meet the needs of residents, and the staff should receive training in supporting residents with memory care needs.<\/p>\n<h3>Cost<\/h3>\n<p>A critical aspect in any level of senior living.<\/p>\n<p>Talk to the community regarding the costs for memory care and determine monthly expenses to provide support for your loved one.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing cost details helps families plan for current needs and future changes.<\/p>\n<h3>Community<\/h3>\n<p>Most communities welcome visitors. So, schedule a visit!<\/p>\n<p>If possible, visit with your loved one to get a better idea of what the community offers. Visits provide you with a better idea of the services and amenities. And they provide you with an opportunity to meet with caregivers and staff!<\/p>\n<h3>Availability of Staff<\/h3>\n<p>Memory care is more involved than other types of senior care. It is important that there are enough caregivers available to provide support to residents.<\/p>\n<p>Find out their staff to resident ratio to ensure that support is available for residents.<\/p>\n<h3>Dining<\/h3>\n<p>Nutritious food is an important aspect of a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Communities often offer meal choices to residents. Ask them what options residents have at mealtimes and how they support those with special needs.<\/p>\n<h3>Ask Questions<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to the care of your loved one. It is better to know than to guess.<\/p>\n<p>So, ask every question you have. Communities are happy to provide answers and details regarding their services. Through conversations, you will learn more about the community.<\/p>\n<h2>The Beacon Neighborhood<\/h2>\n<p>Benton House\u2019s approach to memory care is the Beacon Neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>A dedicated area within our communities that serves those experiencing Alzheimer\u2019s Disease and other memory loss.<\/p>\n<p>We designed this bright, beautiful space offers comprehensive support within an innovative design that is open, homelike, and keypad-protected.<\/p>\n<p>The neighborhood\u2019s design is an important aspect of our care philosophy. With few apartments, it is large enough to have a community feel, but not so large that it feels overwhelming. Its open design feels spacious but offers the reassurance of seeing others around if help is needed. Residents also have access to an outdoor courtyard that provides them with a place to enjoy fresh air.<\/p>\n<p>Our daily life within the Beacon Neighborhood is a special calendar that blends familiar routines with unique events. They are all designed to celebrate ability, rather than focusing on loss.<\/p>\n<p>Other hallmarks of our neighborhood include higher staffing ratios and a dedicated coordinator. Which ensures residents have all the support they need within this unique lifestyle approach.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about how Benton House can serve you, please <a href=\"#contact_form\"><strong>fill out the form<\/strong><\/a> found on this page.
