Frequently Asked Questions: Memory Care in Memphis, TN
Memory care is a specialized form of long-term residential care designed to provide a supportive, secure, and enriching environment for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other forms of memory loss. It offers around-the-clock supervision, personalized care, and engaging activities tailored to address the unique needs and challenges of memory loss.
As you witness the changes in your loved one’s cognitive abilities and behaviors, it’s only natural to wonder if their current living situation is safe and suitable for their needs. Here are some signs that may indicate it’s time to consider memory care:
- Changes in personality or behavior
- Safety concerns
- Difficulty with everyday activities and tasks
- A decline in physical health
- Caregiver strain
The terms memory care and dementia care are typically used interchangeably, although memory care can refer more generally to any person with memory loss, regardless of whether Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia is the cause. Learn more about what daily life would look like for your loved one at our memory care community.
Just like the knowledge surrounding brain diseases is constantly evolving, so are we, as we are continuously employing on-site training for our staff. We require all caregivers to take continuing education courses through our learning provider, Relias, as well as the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioner training. This ensures that our memory care services and staff always remain up-to-date and reliable.
We first do a thorough intake assessment to determine the level of memory care required for each resident and work with their families to help plan their treatment. As part of our personalized care plan, our team sits down with your loved one during the initial visit and begins work on a lifestyle journal. These are the centerpiece of our memory care social model, allowing our team to connect with the residents and see how their disorder has affected their recollection ability based on the memories put in the journal. This helps us know when it’s time to move your loved one to a more advanced level of care.
Gardens of Germantown provides 24-hour care, so you can rest assured that your loved one will always have access to help when they need it most. Our caregivers are assigned residents per unit based on community occupancy, and we allow memory care residents to have an independent sitter with them if they prefer this kind of support.
Our memory care community is the first of its kind in its groundbreaking approach to addressing the different stages of memory loss. With three unique neighborhoods, each tailored to specific cognitive impairments, we ensure that your loved one receives specialized care in a nurturing environment, whether they’re facing early-onset Alzheimer’s or severe cognitive decline.
We also partner with EyeWatch Live, an AI-powered monitoring system that provides real-time notifications to our team members. This advanced AI technology allows our team members to respond quickly to your loved one’s needs at all hours of the day and has been proven to reduce common risks such as falls.
The Gardens of Germantown is just minutes away from Memphis and Cordova, Tennessee, as well as Olive Branch and other North Mississippi communities.
