Many senior living facilities offer memory care, but they vary greatly on how individualized the care is for each resident. When you have a loved one that has Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia, you want the very best care available. Residential care homes for those with memory loss can offer a more inclusive and personalized experience, which is what we offer at Gianna Homes.
What Is a Residential Care Home?
Residential care homes, like our Sursum Corda and Gladys Place, are actual homes in residential neighborhoods that have been equipped for memory care. These beautiful homes are designed to provide a comfortable atmosphere, with indoor and outdoor access for the residents. In addition, each home only has a handful of residents, allowing for more personalized care for each person.
There are many advantages to choosing a residential care home for your loved one with memory loss over larger facilities. Every resident has different needs and concerns that can be overlooked when put into a structured environment, which is common in many larger memory care facilities. Gianna Homes offers the following advantages at our residential care homes.
Higher Staff-to-resident Ratio
Our residential homes have a strict limit on the number of residents at each home. As a result, we have a higher staff-to-resident ratio, which allows us to offer more flexibility in scheduling activities and care for our residents. This fosters a calmer and more comfortable environment for our residents.
Individualized Care
residents dealing with the varying emotions and frustrations common with dementia need individualized care. In residential care homes, this is not only possible, but it is a must at Gianna Homes. As a result, each resident receives the specific care they need and can enjoy their favorite activities in a relaxing environment.
Non-Invasive Security
Memory care residents do require security to ensure their safety, but it does not need to be intrusive. Our residential care homes have extensive security to protect our residents while still allowing them privacy and autonomy.
At Gianna Homes, we provide beautiful residential care homes with a relaxing, comfortable ambiance that is wonderful for our residents. We also have highly trained caregivers, life engagement opportunities, and our comprehensive Lifecare® Services.
