Memory Care
At Loma Clara Senior Living, we believe deeply in providing personalized care for each of our residents and helping them live a safe, nurturing and inspiring lifestyle. This is especially true for our residents who are living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
Unparalleled Care
Generations Memory Care follows the philosophy of a person-centric culture where one is a whole person first, the person they were and still are, and not identified by their disease or behaviors. We strive to celebrate and highlight the abilities of those we serve.
We require our staff, known as care partners, to continually complete extensive certified training to better support our residents living with memory loss. Each of these programs creates an immersive environment focusing on the individual’s strengths to foster moments of achievement.
Generations Memory Care Signature Programs
- Daily Journey – Providing purpose while building skills for daily living
- Tune Into Me – A therapeutic music program
- Culinary Creations – Preparing recipes from the past
- From Our Generation to Yours – Intergenerational programming
- Never Stop Exploring – Connecting with the local community
- It’s All Right – Highlighting the individuality and creativity of each person
Each of these programs creates an immersive environment focusing on the individual’s strengths to foster moments of achievement.
Generations Neighborhood
The Generations neighborhood is designed for residents who are showing more advanced signs of memory loss and provides peace and security for those in the middle to late stages of Alzheimer’s. These signs can include:
- Difficulty identifying family and friends
- Difficulty managing daily activities
- Difficulty maintaining good hygiene
- Agitation and confusion in the later afternoon/early evening (“Sun-downing”)
Since these individuals require more assistance and a higher level of care, we strive to create a safe and soothing space with minimal agitation and an abundance of compassion. Our care plans include:
- Structure and routine for each day
- Fully secured neighborhood
- Resources to monitor whereabouts
- Comfortable spaces filled with smells found in our homes, laughter and music
- Lots of natural light and areas for fresh air.
Transitions Neighborhood
The Transitions neighborhood is designed for those in the early to middle stages of dementia and provides an intimate and comfortable environment. As such, we care for residents experiencing:
- Anxiety
- Fear of getting lost
- Isolation
- Depression
- Decreased confidence
- Difficulty completing everyday tasks without reminders
- Agitation and confusion in the later afternoon/early evening (“Sun-downing’)
In Transitions, we strive to help residents be independently engaged in their interactions and socialization, guiding them to find purpose and meaning each and every day. We focus on stimulating the mind in these early stages with our Vibrant Life® activities geared toward brain fitness and body exercises.
