Memory Care

We have developed innovative communities designed specifically for people with memory loss. Our apartments are easy to navigate, we have licensed nurses on staff and our activities provide cognitive and physical stimulation to help soothe and relieve the effects of Alzheimer's and dementia. We continually focus on socialization which is paramount to health and well being.

We Understand

Respect and caring are fundamental to us because we have parents too. We start by understanding our residents' life stories. Each resident has a memory box outside their apartment that shares photos and mementos with their friends and care team. By knowing these stories we can engage in meaningful conversations and interesting activities that are important to them. We recreate the familiarity of home and provide the comfort of happy memories.

Compassion, creativity, flexibility and a warm sense of humor define our employees. Everyone has special training in dementia and age sensitivity and we are taught to join the conversations of residents, instead of attempting to lead them into the reality of the present.

Gentle Therapies

Our memory care program features the Snoezelen (pronounced "snoozlin") philosophy of care in which sensory stimulation is used as a method of relaxation and redirection. This type of care allows us to reduce the use of medication to soothe our residents. Each of communities has a Life's Haven room or mobile cart where light, shapes, textures, aromas, music and colors are used to gently stimulate the senses. This care is another way Aegis puts our residents first.

Safe and Secure

One of our top priorities is the safety and security of your loved one. Our communities are designed so that residents can enjoy the outdoors and our community but not wander outside of our secure area. We have created circular garden paths so that residents can get exercise and feel satisfaction without feeling confined. And our apartments are designed with systems that ensure our residents safety.

We're Here For You

Caring for a family member with dementia can be extremely difficult. The increased responsibility and emotional burden can easily cause stress and anxiety. This is why we believe in our neighborhood approach. These tasks are now shared by a number of dedicated individuals trained in caring for Alzheimer's and dementia. With the knowledge that your loved one is well cared for, you can enjoy more fulfilling time together and less stress.

We also provide you with resources, education and support groups to help you understand your parent's situation. We make it easy for you to understand exactly what they are going through.
