Dementia
Dementia is a general umbrella term that describes a group of symptoms, such as loss of memory, judgement, language, complex motor skills and other intellectual function caused by the permanent damage or death of the brain’s nerve cells, or neurons.
Stages of Dementia
Mild Dementia
In mild dementia, people may have difficulty remembering words and names, learning, remembering new information, and planning and managing complicated activities such as driving. They may also experience sadness, anxiety, loss of interest in once pleasurable activities, and other symptoms of major depression.
Moderate Dementia
In moderate dementia, judgment, physical function, and sensory processing are typically affected. This can cause problems with personal hygiene, inappropriate language, and wandering. In this stage, your loved one can get around but has poor judgment. This stage can be physically and emotionally challenging for the caregiver.
Severe Dementia
In severe dementia, there may be extensive memory loss, limited or no mobility, difficulty swallowing, and bowel and bladder control issues. There may be a need for around-the-clock care. At this stage, the patient may have difficulty recognizing family members and caregivers.
Types of Dementia
The most common dementia is Alzheimer’s Disease. Followed by Vascular Dementia, Dementia with Lewy Bodies, Mixed Dementia, Parkinson’s Disease Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia (Pick’s Disease), Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (Mad Cow Disease), Huntington’s Disease and Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome.
Each type of dementia has specific challenges and behaviors. Learning how to communicate and manage behaviors is vital with effective strategies for the person with dementia.

Memory Care Communities
When keeping your loved one with dementia at home is no longer an option, memory care communities are structured with trained staff around the clock that can assist in your loved one’s daily needs. Typically, an assessment is done before moving into a community to make sure the care needed can be provided by the community. If approved, a plan of care will be put in place to make sure the needs are met for individualized care.
We are a Personal Care Community focused on the holistic health of our residents by treating the person not the disease. We incorporate daily activities focusing on the mind, body, and spirit. Our community is designed to achieve a perfect balance of safety, comfort, and an active lifestyle for all residents.
