Memory care has transformed over the past decade. Today, care centers offer personalized plans that consider the likes and dislikes, former careers, and activities enjoyed by the resident. Gone are the days of grouping everyone together into a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Stimulation and Sensory Activities
Memory care in Long Island focuses on things such as reminiscent therapy, memory kits, and fail-proof activities that engage residents while giving them a sense of purpose. Cognitive impairment and the isolation that often accompanies this condition can be improved with stimulation from these familiar processes.
Socialization is also an important part of life. Having common areas where it’s easy to gather and talk, play checkers, or watch TV helps to combat loneliness and depression. Getting together to exercise with others is another great way to stay active and enjoy time together.
Dining and Desserts
Food has gathered people for centuries. Favorite dishes and scrumptious desserts bring back memories of special family members, laughter, and warm, secure feelings. Chef-prepared specialty meals, a rolling dessert and coffee cart, and soothing flavors can help people to relax and reminisce. A delicious, freshly stuffed cannoli can evoke memories of a mother laughing in the kitchen with her children.
