Understanding Memory Care and Who It’s For

Memory care is a specialized type of support designed for seniors experiencing cognitive and physical health challenges due to Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. It differs from general assisted living or skilled nursing because it focuses specifically on cognitive health, safety, engagement, and emotional wellbeing. 

Memory care is most commonly offered at the assisted living level, but Living Branches also offers this level of care within our nursing homes. When a resident is a candidate for Serenata Memory Care, they are given an individualized assessment to determine the right level of care for them. Families can be confident that as care needs evolve, residents can move seamlessly between levels without leaving their Living Branches community.

Person-Centered Care and Meaningful Engagement

Serenata Memory Care takes a person-centered approach. Each resident’s life history, preferences, and capabilities guide the care they receive. Structured routines, Montessori-based activities, Music & Memory® programming, and creative arts therapy are integrated into daily life to promote engagement, joy, and cognitive stimulation. Residents are not simply supervised; they are empowered to participate in activities that instill purpose and joy.

Safety and Security For Your Loved Ones

One of the most common concerns families have is safety for their loved ones living with dementia. Serenata Memory Care neighborhoods are secure by design, with layouts and lighting that minimize risks while allowing residents to move freely. Team members are trained to monitor and engage with residents proactively, while fostering as much independence and confidence as possible. The neighborhoods are also designed to reduce common hazards found in typical homes, such as stairs, heated appliances, and cords, so families can trust their loved ones are safe.
