blog

At Sarah House Assisted Living’s Forest Court location, we understand the unique challenges faced by residents living with dementia or Alzheimer’s. Our holistic approach to care focuses on providing a supportive, dignified, and enriching environment for each individual. We believe that care goes beyond meeting physical needs—it’s about engaging the mind, body, and spirit to help residents live as fully as possible.

Specialized, Compassionate Care 24/7

Our staff is highly trained in dementia and Alzheimer’s care, providing compassionate, round-the-clock support to ensure our residents are safe and comfortable. We work closely with families to understand each resident’s personal history and preferences, tailoring our approach to meet their unique needs. Whether it’s assistance with daily tasks or medication management, our staff is always available to offer a helping hand with kindness and patience.

Maintaining Dignity and Independence

Even as memory fades, we believe that dignity and independence are key components of a happy life. At Sarah House, we focus on creating a daily routine that allows our residents to maintain as much independence as possible, while still receiving the necessary support. Our goal is to empower each resident to engage in activities and make choices that bring joy and meaning to their day.

Daily Activities Designed for Cognitive Stimulation

To keep the mind active and engaged, we offer daily activities designed to stimulate memory and cognition. These activities include puzzles, memory games, art therapy, music, and other sensory-based experiences that help residents feel connected and involved. By promoting the use of all five senses, we create a welcoming environment where residents can thrive emotionally and mentally.

Physical Well-Being and Wellness

Physical health is an essential part of holistic care, and we encourage our residents to stay physically active. Our tailored exercise programs focus on balance, mobility, and flexibility, ensuring that each resident can participate at their own pace. These activities not only promote physical well-being but also help reduce stress and anxiety.

Family Involvement and Support

We know that a strong support system is crucial for residents and their families. That’s why we actively involve families in the care process, providing regular updates and encouraging family visits and participation in activities. Our goal is to create a sense of continuity and reassurance, knowing that your loved one is receiving the best possible care.
