If someone you love is living with dementia or Alzheimer’s, the choice in front of you carries weight that most decisions never do. You want a place that protects their dignity, not just their safety. We’re The Sarah House in Ormond Beach, and we provide specialized care for all phases of dementia. What follows is an honest picture of how that care unfolds, so you can weigh it with the seriousness it deserves.
Memory care in Ormond Beach is offered at a small residence housing up to 24 people with dementia or Alzheimer’s. Staff are on site around the clock, providing help with daily needs, medication, housekeeping, and homestyle meals. Residents receive tailored activities, private or semi-private rooms, visiting medical services, and families get regular updates and meetings.
How Our Memory Care Supports Your Loved One
Our approach rests on something we call The Sarah House Way, a belief that even as memory fades, the human spirit still deserves to be recognized, valued, and helped to thrive. For families navigating Alzheimer’s or dementia, that belief shapes every part of the day. Here is what your loved one can expect once they’re with us.
Where Our Memory Care Residence Sits
Our dementia and Alzheimer’s care is offered at our Old Tomoka Road residence here in Ormond Beach, a cozy congregate setting that houses up to 24 residents. The smaller scale is deliberate. In a home this size, your parent isn’t a face in a crowd, and our team can truly know each person they look after.
Memory Care Staff On Site Around the Clock
Compassionate, knowledgeable staff are present on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Every caregiver brings years of experience caring for seniors and meets all state requirements before they ever start. We hire for skill, but our first requirement is a big heart and a big smile, because that’s what your loved one will feel long after they’ve forgotten the details of a conversation.
Daily Memory Care Delivered With Dignity
We provide personal assistance with daily needs and medication management, along with daily housekeeping. As a resident’s needs shift, dining assistance is offered as needed. Through all of it, we hold two things in equal regard: a sense of dignity and a sense of independence. Helping someone does not mean deciding everything for them, and we try never to lose sight of that.
Memory Care Activities That Engage the Mind
Memory care here is active, not passive. We offer daily tailored activities meant to stimulate the mind, along with daily regimens that include physical movement. We also work to engage all five senses, because reaching a person through sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell can open a door when words alone fall short. Each day is built to keep your loved one involved rather than idle.
Memory Care Meals Made and Served at Home
Homestyle cooked meals are part of life in our memory care residence, with dining assistance provided as needed. Our caregivers are trained to observe residents for any changes and to support proper nutrition and hydration based on each person’s needs. For someone whose appetite or routine has changed with their condition, that attentiveness matters more than it might seem.
Familiar Comforts and Visiting Care in Memory Care
Rooms come as private or semi-private, and we supply complementary furniture, bedding, and linens so the space feels settled from the first day. Residents may keep their own health care providers, and a range of professionals come to them, including a visiting physician, podiatrist, home health, and lab services. Hair and beauty services and hospice care are available as well, so much of what a resident needs arrives without an exhausting trip out.
How Families Stay Close in Memory Care
A dementia diagnosis can make families feel shut out. We work against that. Our service includes 24-hour communication with families, weekly and daily updates, and family meetings whenever they’re needed or requested. We also walk alongside you through the transition, the acceptance, and the slow acclimation that this kind of move asks of everyone, not only the resident.
Conclusion
No description can substitute for standing in the space and watching how our team speaks to the people in their care. If you’re carrying this decision, we’d welcome the chance to show you our Old Tomoka Road residence and answer whatever weighs on you.
