Hearing the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease of a loved one can be devastating news. You may wonder what the future will hold and whether they can still maintain a high quality of life. There are options available that can protect your loved one’s independence and dignity through their journey. If you are considering memory care for a loved one with Alzheimer’s, here are some of the incredible benefits of choosing a residential care home.
Cozy and Comfy Home Environment
Residents with Alzheimer’s feel more comfortable when they are in a setting that feels familiar. The residential care homes we offer at Gianna Homes are real houses, not facilities. Residents have their own rooms and can enjoy privacy while having a wonderful team of caregivers nearby and other housemates for friendship and fellowship.
Personalized Care
With a higher caregiver-to-resident ratio than most memory care centers, residents get the personalized care they need at our care homes. Every Alzheimer’s patient has different medical, emotional, and spiritual needs, which they receive from our trained caregivers. Each patient has their own program and routine that is tailored specifically to their needs and altered as needed during the disease progression.
Gratifying Engagement
Nurturing the mind and spirit is as important as caring for the body. Our residents have access to engaging activities that keep their brains stimulated. We offer painting, music, reading, garden walks, fitness activities, and social gatherings that keep our residents entertained and involved. The family is encouraged to visit and participate in many events throughout the year.
Safe Independence
Residential care homes are designed to allow residents to feel independent while still protecting their safety. This is vital for a high quality of life that is respectful of each resident’s dignity. There are caregivers on the premises 24 hours a day to ensure each resident receives the care they need in a safe, loving environment.
Alzheimer’s patients deserve individualized care in an atmosphere that makes them feel valued and seen. At Gianna Homes, we feel privileged to provide incredible experiences for our residents and their families.
