Dementia & Alzheimer's Care in Avon, Connecticut
Benchmark Memory Care is designed to help those with memory impairments stay active and engaged, supported by a caring staff, specialized programs, and a neighborhood designed just for them. The Memory Care Program is led by a dementia care specialist who provides the programming, services and support to help residents feel secure, comfortable, and successful every day.
Caring for the Whole Person is at the Heart of Our Memory Care
We offer an innovative and award-winning memory care program, Live Now, Live Engaged, that celebrates the spirit and supports the capabilities of each resident through individualized and group activities that encourage creativity and self-expression. Using research-based programming, we approach and appreciate each resident, and help them engage in six dimensions of wellness—physical, social, intellectual, emotional, purposeful and spiritual.
Safety and Comfort for Your Peace of Mind
People suffering from memory loss, Alzheimer’s and dementia are prone to wandering, which can be extremely dangerous for the person and very worrisome for caregivers. We designed our Harbor Memory Care neighborhood with visual cues and themes to stimulate memory and help residents find their way, contrasting colors to help residents identify their surroundings, special lighting to reduce shadows in the common areas, electronic door security inside and out for safety, and comfortable, familiar furniture designed for the unique needs of seniors receiving treatment for Alzheimer’s and dementia.
