Cognitive and Physical Support
Families and residents alike will appreciate the caring supervision of our dedicated, in-house staff 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We have licensed nurses on staff and available to assist when needed. Not only will they offer the guidance required for personal safety and community involvement, they will also manage all medical needs, including prescription drugs and diabetes care, incontinence issues, and all of the activities of daily senior living – and they will do so with the same respect and compassion a family would show. Indeed, here at Moran Vista, we know that just because an individual with Alzheimer’s or dementia can no longer remember a certain name, this morning’s breakfast, or how to care for themselves, doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten the joys of a warm smile and a gentle touch. So here at Moran Vista’s Alzheimer’s/Dementia Program, every aspect of every resident’s care includes both.
Day Programming
Part of the commitment we at Moran Vista made to providing great senior care, is the responsibility to continuously seek improvement. Developing and advancing on industry standards, finding creative ways of how to better the lives of our residents. One of the most successful outcomes of this never ending process is our Day Programming. This program is designed to support the idea of integration, which inevitably improves the lifestyles of residents involved. For example, Day Programming gives an opportunity to a person residing in the secure unit to socialize with a broader range of residents with provided safety and personal care. On the other hand, a resident from the assisted living section with specific needs requiring higher personal attention can be accommodated in the Memory Care unit.
What makes Day Programming the right fit for your family?
Day Programming has been created to support the varied needs of our residents. A typical unit assignment is often long term and does not allow for any flexibility and therefore does not address residents’ unique needs. There are endless ways that Day Programming can serve your family in your mutual efforts of giving your loved the absolute highest quality of lifestyle possible. Here are some specific examples:
- Your family member suffers from dementia and therefore is residing in the secured unit, but he or she also desires increased socializing. Day Programming gives such resident the opportunity to enjoy the social stimuli of the assisted living area, while their normal daily needs are met in the secured unit. Trained staff ensures comfort and security of all residents.
- Your family member enjoys living in the assisted living wing, however is also interested in activities that are organized for residents in the secure unit. Day Programming offers sensory stimulation group activities with other residents of similar cognition.
- Your family member is placed in the assisted living unit, however requires a higher level of personal care for specific tasks only. Day Programming provides one-to-one attention for feeding and cueing.
- Your family member is currently residing in the assisted living wing, but due to his or her condition your family faces the decision of transfer. Day Programming will make any transition of your loved one as smooth as possible, as it allows for short-term integrated options of familiarization with the secured unit. That way, residents are never abruptly taken from a familiar environment and thrown into brand new setting without proper time for adjustment.
