Memory Care
Our focus is on providing a safe and
secure environment, while maintaining the dignity and
quality of life of our mobile residents.
Individuals with Alzheimer's disease and
related disorders have a right to specialized care in a
supportive atmosphere that allows them and their families an
ability to better cope with the debilitating effects of the
disease. We believe residents have a right to
comfort, meaningful adult activity, and freedom from
unnecessary chemical and physical restraints. Self-esteem is supported by allowing them
to participate in familiar work and housekeeping
tasks. We encourage family and friends to participate
in group and/or individual activities. Volunteers on
2nd floor are given instruction on the floors' general
purpose and the unique nature of these persons.
Madrid Homes CCDI Units are
specifically designed to care for the special needs of
individuals suffering from Alzheimer's and other forms of
memory loss.
| Is it time for a care facility? |
Here are factors the Alzheimer's Association says families should consider in deciding whether it's time for a person with dementia to move to a care facility:
- The person forgets or refuses to use necessary safety equipment, such as wheelchairs, walkers or grab bars.
- The person has accidents with stoves, appliances or other household items.
- The person can't get to the bathroom when needed.
- The person is unwilling or unable to bathe or change clothing.
- The family caregiver has been unable to enlist help from relatives and friends.
