We all know our loved ones well: their likes and dislikes, their favorite recipes, and their sports teams. And we can tell when they’re just not themselves anymore due to age-related or physical problems.
One of the joys of walking with a loved one as they age is seeing them reach their goals and have the time to invest in friends, family, and the hobbies and interests they care about most. But when the physical and emotional challenges of aging begin to take away from the joys of life, and home becomes an inhospitable place, a caring assisted living community like Rock Island Village may be the ideal next step.
Seniors who participate in sustained, creative mental challenges like photography, or quilting showed improvements to an aging mind. Memory Care is available for those with dementia or Alzheimer’s to address their unique and specific needs, often far more than can be achieved in the home.
There are over 100 forms of dementia or the loss of memory. Whatever the reason, the issues of care for these individuals are similar. A person suffering from some types of memory loss will face a narrowing path and a deterioration of one’s lifestyle and the connections they cherish with friends and family. Memory Care communities like the one at Rock Island Village are specifically designed to enhance the well-being of these special people.
Breakthroughs and improvements in medicine can add years to our lives, but not always quality. Memory loss is the fastest-growing category of challenges that seniors face today. Rock Island Village Memory Care is ready with the latest techniques to help our residents.
