Individualized Dementia Care

No two people experience dementia in exactly the same way. Memory loss, communication, mobility, behavior, social interaction and the ability to perform daily activities can change differently for every individual.

Our approach begins with getting to know the person.

Through assessment and ongoing care planning, the Silver Springs team identifies each resident’s clinical needs as well as personal preferences, familiar routines, interests and abilities. Care and activities can then be adapted as needs change over time.

Our memory care services include:

• Individualized care planning
• Skilled nursing care and clinical oversight
• Assistance with activities of daily living
• Medication management
• Specialized therapeutic recreation and activities
• Individual and small-group engagement
• Sensory-based activities and programming
• Social services and family support
• Rehabilitation services when appropriate
• Nutritional and dietary support
• A comfortable, secure and supportive environment

Meaningful Activities and Engagement

Quality memory care involves much more than meeting a resident’s medical and physical needs. Meaningful engagement, familiar routines and opportunities for connection are important parts of daily life.

Our therapeutic recreation team develops programming around residents’ cognitive, physical, social, emotional, sensory, cultural and spiritual needs. Activities are adapted to individual abilities so residents can participate in ways that are comfortable and meaningful to them.

Programming may include music, art, sensory activities, reminiscence, games, movement, social activities and individual engagement based on a resident’s interests and abilities.

Our goal is not simply to keep residents occupied. It is to create opportunities for enjoyment, connection, accomplishment and a sense of purpose.

A Supportive and Secure Environment

Silver Springs provides memory care in an environment designed to promote comfort, familiarity and safety.

Residents benefit from specially trained and supportive caregivers, structured routines, smaller-group activities and individualized interaction. Our team uses approaches designed to reduce unnecessary stress and support residents experiencing changes in memory, cognition, communication or behavior.

As a skilled nursing care center, Silver Springs can also support residents whose dementia is accompanied by medical conditions or other clinical needs requiring nursing care and interdisciplinary support.

Supporting Families and Caregivers

Dementia affects families as well as the person receiving care. Families remain important members of the care team throughout a resident’s stay.

We encourage ongoing communication between families and our nursing, social services, recreation, rehabilitation and clinical teams. Care conferences provide opportunities to discuss changes in condition, goals, preferences and approaches to care.

Our team can also help families better understand changes associated with dementia and identify approaches that may make visits and interactions more comfortable and meaningful.
