Memory Care Assisted Living

Here, life is an activity.

At Keswick, our memory care assisted living is defined by “activities” - something broader than a specific action at a prescribed time. Rather, we view activities as anything the resident does during the course of the day. For each individual, that daily activity will differ. We prefer this person-centered approach in caring for residents with all levels of memory impairment.

We focus on the individual and his or her strengths. Although there are some similarities among people with memory impairment, it is their individuality which remains as their memory fades. The more we learn about our Memory Care residents, the better we can use the appropriate setting and level of dementia care to engage them in activities they enjoy, while establishing and maintaining routines.

Recreational therapy that is worthy of its residents. The goal is to enable each person to reach his or her highest level of function with our memory care assisted living. Our recreational therapy takes its cue from the world-renowned Montessori teaching method. It’s an approach that focuses on instilling a feeling of success and worthiness.

Here are a few examples of our dementia care recreational activities:

• Balloon Exercise - A variety of styles of exercise, including walking, chair dancing, volleyball and tai chi.
• Today’s Good News - Sharing of daily headlines and events.
• Musical Memories - Listening to music of specific eras to evoke pleasant memories, plus sing-a-longs and music trivia.
• Storytelling - Sharing of personal memories and family pictures and book sharing.
• Trivia - Includes movie titles, sports and TV show categories.
• Montessori Activities - Independent, personalized projects for residents throughout the day.
