The MJ Signature Memory Care Program is offered in a highly controlled environment specially designed for the person with dementia. A brain friendly meal program, our Alzheimer’s Lounge, Journey Stations, ongoing educational opportunities for our family members, and staff well trained in all aspects of dementia.
We have carefully created a controlled environment specifically designed for the person with dementia. We believe these design features allow for our residents to have as much personal success as possible. Some of the features include:
At Providence Place, we pride ourselves in offering an environment for our residents to live exactly the way they choose. The following is a brief description of the MJ Signature Memory Care Program:
Journey stations are destinations throughout the community that encourage residents to be naturally curious about the items they see while triggering special memories. Each Journey Station is strategically placed throughout our hallways and is carefully designed to pique the person’s interest. Each station has a theme with items the person can pick up, read, look at, put on, reflect on, etc.
The staff of Providence Place are specially trained in all aspects of dementia; communication, activities, and care which allows them to provide highly personalized care.
Purpose: The best activity program is one that allows residents to naturally find purpose in things they enjoy. Process is more important than the outcome. The primary focus of each Alzheimer’s Lounge session is to meet the intrinsic needs of inclusion (creating meaningful friendships) and occupation (doing things that provide them with a sense of purpose) for each resident.
Each resident’s personalized service agreement serves as a guide for our staff to ensure our residents have everything they need to feel comfortable and successful each and every day.
Two levels of care are available to our residents. Level of care is determined upon completion of the nursing assessment prior to admission and as needed thereafter due to change in condition. The level of care is determined by a simple point system which is based upon the amount of staff dedication needed to provide quality care.
