Music and Memory Care
Here at Encore at Avalon Park, we understand the challenges associated with caring for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s. That’s why we offer special memory care-focused living communities for residents suffering from these afflictions without isolating them from their families and their peers.
Special Considerations for Memory Care Residents
It takes an elevated level of training for our nurses to become skilled in providing memory care, and several other considerations to make sure our memory care residents are receiving the absolute highest level of attention and care. Here’s what’s guaranteed for your loved ones in Encore at Avalon Park’s memory care communities:
- Songbird Music Program: Engaging elderly people with Alzheimer’s in music has proven to help restore memory. That’s why we at Encore, a Music and Memory certified community, offer programs like the Songbird music program. We have partnered with students in our community to help engage elders affected by mind-altering disabilities. We will pair your loved one with a young adult who will work closely with them throughout the year to create a customized playlist to help them be able to connect with their surroundings more.
- Management of medication by a round-the-clock licensed nurse: There is a special kind of peace of mind associated with making sure your loved ones suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s have someone looking out for their health. In our memory care communities, we offer care from a trained and licensed nurse around the clock to ensure that residents are taking their medication correctly and that their health is being provided for.
- Daily meals, snacks and educational and social programming: For a patient with memory trouble, a sense of self and social life is often a factor in keeping memory as sharp as possible for as long as possible. At Encore, our staff provides group meals three times a day, as well as snacks and community activity to ensure that residents stay social and can enjoy their experience in our caring facility.
- Housekeeping, laundry, and 24-hour personal assistance: Many families with loved ones in memory care facilities worry about their day-to-day needs being met. At Encore, our compassionate staff will make sure your loved one gets the help they need with daily living, as well as all the amenities included in an excellent quality of life.
