If your loved one is living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, it might be time to consider a residential memory care community at Fox Trail Memory Care Living. With a network of memory care communities throughout north and central New Jersey, our team provides a tailored approach to residential memory care. Here, we discuss these services, as well as the benefits of living in one of our memory care communities.
Defining Residential Memory Care
As one of the fastest-growing long-term care options, memory care is designed to support individuals with Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia. Like a nursing home or skilled nursing residence, memory care providers offer 24-hour support to residents, including supervision during and assistance with:
- Eating
- Using the restroom
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Other everyday activities
It’s important to note that Fox Trail Memory Care Living does not have medical doctors on staff to treat other health conditions. Rather, we offer the H.O.P.E. program, in which our on-staff medical director coordinates appointments and care plans with the residents’ physicians.
Additionally, residential memory care strives to provide support and resources in a communal setting, in which individuals can form connections with their peers and visiting family members. Social and cognitive activities are available to stimulate residents’ minds and help them live full lives, such as art and music therapy for sensory stimulation.
Benefits of Fox Trail Memory Care Living
At Fox Trail Memory Care Living, our intimate setting gives our residents a safe space to thrive. To provide residents and their families with life-changing benefits and amenities, we are proud to offer the following:
Specialized Care
When searching for a memory care facility for your loved one, you need to consider what type of care they need. There are seven stages of Alzheimer’s disease, and each level requires a separate level of support. At Fox Trail Memory Care Living, we provide a range of care levels for your loved one. Our specialized care plans allow us to assess each resident and create a plan that reflects their needs. Additionally, we can adjust their plan to fit their ongoing needs as their condition changes over time.
We use two innovative programs that allow us to tailor our care to each resident’s needs:
- SPARK! program: By combining cutting-edge technology with physical, emotional, social, and other forms of health, we promote a holistic and healthy lifestyle and create a balanced and fun environment in which our residents can thrive.
- O.P.E program: This program integrates medical services into the lives of our residents to help ensure they receive premium care and support. Through collaboration with our medical group and medical professionals in our community, we empower residents to achieve their best health.
Safety and Comfort Features
Our communities help reduce the chance of your loved ones wandering off and injuring themselves. Doors and windows have secure locks and monitoring tools to help keep our residents safe. Nonslip flooring and grab bars in our private apartments and common areas help prevent slips and falls.
Each of our apartments comes fully furnished with a bed, chairs, and other furniture to make our residents feel at home. Bring in your loved one’s favorite decorations or family photos to surround them with comfort and peaceful memories.
