Special Care
Memory Lane Program
Our Memory Lane special care program that provides assistance and care for those who may suffer from memory impairments, such as Alzheimer’s Disease or Dementia. Each resident in Summerset’s Memory Lane Program shares the basic services and amenities offered at Summerset as well as special activities developed by the Sunshine Club. These activities are focused on providing appropriate amounts of stimulation and exercise, allowing residents to enjoy their daytime and nighttime hours. Traits that may be prevalent with those who experience memory loss are non-conformance, wandering and resistive behavior.
MEMORY LANE – LEVELS OF CARE
There are two Levels of Care available in the Special Care Program, depending on the number of assistance with various Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) required.
SPECIAL CARE PROGRAM LEVEL 1:
Our Alzheimer’s care facility offers quality care and assistance to residents who may be in the beginning stages of memory loss and who need assistance with up to two ADL’s. There may be a moderate degree of repetition, disorientation and forgetfulness. Often, all it takes to comfort someone in this state is to have their days planned with appropriate and meaningful activities.
Our Sunshine Club does a great job at planning just such a structured Entertainment and Activities program.
EXTRA SPECIAL CARE PROGRAM LEVEL 2:
Extra—means the additional assistance and attention provided to a resident with an increased level of memory loss and who needs assistance with 3-4 ADL’s. This program focuses more specifically on enhancing the quality of life for residents with more developed cases of dementia.
Summerset’s specialized programs are the Alzheimer’s care and Dementia care Atlanta residents and their families can trust to be compassionate.
