How is Mind & Memory Care Different?
All the benefits of Benchmark Assisted Living with a specialized program and
environment for the unique needs of those with memory impairment.
Mind & Memory Care Levels
- Our Mind & Memory Plan is for residents whose care needs consist primarily of cueing and reminders. Residents are appropriate for our Mind & Memory Care Plan if they generally exhibit mild cognitive impairment and no or limited behaviors such as aggression or resistance to care.
- Our Mind & Memory I Plan is for residents whose care needs consist primarily of a minimal level of physical assistance with activities of daily living, and minimal levels of cognitive impairment.
- Our Mind & Memory II Plan is for residents whose care needs require a moderate amount of physical assistance with several activities of daily living, and who generally exhibit moderate cognitive impairment.
- Our Mind & Memory III Plan is for residents whose care needs require a substantial amount of physical assistance with several activities of daily living, and who generally exhibit severe cognitive impairment and/or associated behaviors.
- Our Mind & Memory IV Plan is for residents who have extensive needs, for example: a need for total care with one or more activities of daily living, or a substantial amount of assistance is warranted on a daily basis.
- Our Mind & Memory V Plan is for residents who need total assistance with all aspects of care, as well as usage of a mechanical or electrical lift for transfers on an ongoing basis. They may also require extensive emotional/behavioral support.
Personalized, needs-based care to support individual abilities
Adelaide’s 24/7 nursing team remains at the forefront with personalized care plans and supportive services that have been designed for each resident. Care begins with a dedicated caregiver for the first 48 hours to help ensure a successful transition into their new home. In addition, if an emergency hospital visit is ever required, you have peace of mind knowing we’ll accompany them so they feel safe and secure.
Our cutting-edge Mind & Memory Care also leverages technology, specialized equipment and programs to address brain health, physicality and create therapeutic experiences. The Elev8® Mind Studio Brain Gym and Elev8® Fitness Center engages residents in virtual realities, ergonomic and cognitive challenges. We also surround our residents with interactive wall art and visual stimulation, which sets the stage for a wide variety of arts and horticulture therapy programs.
