Aging brings its own set of challenges. While one may face cognitive conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s, the likelihood of dealing with evolving physical health concerns is always present. Plus, memory issues like dementia and Alzheimer’s are progressive, meaning one’s care needs may evolve. At Bayshire San Dimas, we recognize that older adults deserve proper care and support in their later years, enabling them to lead a more fulfilling life. Because of this, we offer seniors multiple levels of care, including memory care with skilled nursing, all under one roof. Through this, seniors get access to specialized activities, personalized care, and a safe and secure environment that supports their cognitive functioning and overall well-being. Here’s how our memory care with skilled nursing enhances the daily lives of our residents.
Specialized Staff And Training
As a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), we make it convenient for residents to transition from one level of care to another as their needs evolve. Through regular checkups and assessments, our specialized staff carefully attends to each resident’s needs to determine if a transition to a different care unit is necessary. The staff focuses on understanding various memory issues, communication techniques, behavior management, and person-centered care.
Whether a resident needs support with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and eating, or assistance with medication management due to a specific inability, or requires mental support to address emotional needs, our team is here around the clock. Additionally, we offer ongoing education and training to our staff, keeping them informed on best practices in dementia care and skilled nursing.
Safe And Secure Environment
For residents with cognitive or physical challenges, safety is paramount. We fulfill this requirement by creating an environment that combines thoughtful design with hands-on care. Some common features that this ideal environment includes are secure entrances, clear pathways, proper lighting, safety rails, grab bars, and more.
Those requiring additional assistance or support benefit from full wheelchair accessibility throughout the premises, along with the availability of trained staff professionals to care for them. The secure outdoor areas, such as courtyards or patios, offer residents a peaceful setting that promotes recovery and emotional well-being. Additionally, the skilled nursing care services include medication management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, each tailored to meet the distinctive needs of each resident.
Personalized Care Plans
Even if symptoms are similar, no two individuals experience mental health challenges the same way. The same applies to individuals dealing with certain illnesses or specific injuries. Due to this reason, we provide all residents in our community with personalized care plans tailored to their individual needs and preferences. Receiving tailored support helps residents combat their cognitive impairments while also receiving the necessary care support for a timely recovery.
At the forefront of these personalized interventions is our professionally trained staff, which performs a thorough assessment of each resident’s unique needs. This evaluation considers their medical history, cognitive abilities, lifestyle preferences, emotional stability, and current healthcare needs. Based on this assessment, an effective care plan is developed.
Social Interaction And Community Support
The need for socialization and belongingness exists in all beings. It’s an essential part of life. To support the needs of our residents, we have provisions for various elements that enhance their cognitive functioning and emotional health and foster a sense of belonging. They come together to share a common space and then engage in meaningful conversations that help them form new friendships.
We typically organize regular group outings, movie nights, and other social activities for individuals receiving skilled nursing care, providing them with opportunities for social interaction. Participating in these activities helps residents reduce their feelings of loneliness, isolation, and anxiety, fostering a sense of emotional support and well-being among one another.
Support To Families
Memory care with skilled nursing proves beneficial for families as well. Loved ones of residents dealing with memory issues often carry a heavy emotional burden. We support residents and their families along the whole journey of care and support. As a trusted and caring partner, we offer compassion, clarity, and support every step of the way. Whether it’s updating residents’ families about their loved one’s health conditions or mental well-being, we do it all.
Furthermore, we offer respite care, support groups, and educational programs to help families of residents gain a deeper understanding of their loved one’s struggles. Keeping a close eye on residents, the staff assists them in transitioning to a skilled nursing or memory care unit as their needs evolve. Whether it’s briefing them about the financial considerations of the transition or providing help with arranging essential resources, we’re here to make the process easier for families.
