Memory Care

Many of our care managers are experienced nurses with extensive backgrounds in gerontology and advanced training in cognitive health assessment. Their expertise allows them to recognize even the most subtle changes in behavior, mood, or daily functioning that may indicate the early stages of dementia—often before these changes are obvious to family members. When concerns arise, they can promptly refer to trusted neurologists, geriatricians, or other specialists for further evaluation, ensuring early intervention and timely care planning. While dementia is a progressive condition affecting memory, communication, and decision-making, research shows that targeted cognitive enrichment programs—such as our MindSense initiative—can help preserve brain function, stimulate engagement, reduce social isolation, and promote emotional well-being. By integrating these activities into a personalized care plan, our team supports not only cognitive health but also a sense of purpose and connection, enhancing overall quality of life for both clients and their families.

Our care managers specialists provide not only hands-on support for individuals living with dementia but also guidance, education, and resources for their families and caregivers. We understand that a dementia diagnosis impacts the entire household, and we work to equip everyone involved with the knowledge and strategies needed to navigate the journey ahead. If a client receives a dementia diagnosis, our team draws on extensive experience to help them continue living with purpose and dignity. This may involve assembling a carefully selected home care team with specialized training in memory care, creating a safe and stimulating living environment, and integrating personalized activities that encourage engagement, familiarity, and joy. We also provide ongoing coaching for caregivers to address challenges, reduce stress, and maintain a sense of connection with their loved one. By combining clinical expertise with compassionate support, we help clients maintain the highest possible quality of life at every stage of the disease.

Our care managers are highly skilled at recognizing delirium, an acute and often sudden change in mental status that is frequently mistaken for dementia. While the two can share symptoms such as confusion and disorientation, delirium is typically caused by treatable medical issues like infection, dehydration, medication side effects, or metabolic imbalances. Unlike dementia, delirium symptoms are often reversible if the underlying cause is addressed quickly. Early detection is essential, as untreated delirium can lead to complications, longer hospital stays, and potential long-term decline. Our nurses are trained to distinguish between the two conditions, coordinate prompt medical evaluation, and work with physicians to resolve the problem—helping clients recover faster and avoid unnecessary impairment.
