Looking for senior memory care in Bergen County NJ? While several residential facilities specialize in memory care, adult daycare facilities often lack the staff and physical structure to provide adequate care for adults with memory impairment. This is a real problem because many people opt to care for their senior relatives with memory problems at home for as long as possible. Access to adult daycares is great for seniors and their caregivers, helping people keep their family at home for longer periods, while simultaneously ensuring that seniors have access to a wide variety of services that are difficult to coordinate and often prohibitively expensive in an at-home setting.
Because we know what a great resource adult day health care centers can be for seniors and their families, we wanted to bring that same level of service to seniors with memory impairment. Memory impairment, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease bring with them a set of challenges that do not exist when caring for a senior who does not have significant cognitive impairment. These challenges include safety concerns, ensuring that the facility is secure to prevent wandering, and programming that is designed to slow down cognitive decline, and, in some cases, even restore some lost functioning.
At Sunshine Adult Day Care, we believe that physical health and cognitive health go hand-in-hand. We take an individualized approach to the care of every resident, designing everything based on individual needs. A multi-disciplinary team of senior healthcare specialists works together to design this plan, which is revised as a patient’s needs evolve and change. The result is that each patient has access to the healthcare or therapy that he or she needs for optimized living. At our facilities, patients can see doctors, podiatrists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, ophthalmologists, and even access diagnostic testing such as lab work and radiology. The goal is to provide comprehensive care that addresses the patient’s total well-being. To find out more, call Sunshine Adult Day Care to find out how to use a free one-day pass to our facility.
