Familiar Places, Familiar Faces
Our homes are designed to make surroundings familiar, care consistent. Room furnishings and personal mementos help residents foster links with the past, replacing confusion and anxiety. With a single CareTeam of trained, compassionate staff assigned to each home, residents see familiar faces on a predictable schedule. Likewise, CareTeam members learn to know the residents -- not just their health care needs but their personal habits, likes and dislikes. Connections are made... a crucial aspect in meeting the physical and emotional needs of those with memory loss.
The Less Things Change, The Better
Through our emphasis on psychological and social comfort, many of our residents have had to rely less on medication to treat anxiety and agitation. Unlike the "transfer trauma" that can come with being thrust into foreign or clinical surroundings, moving to a ComfortCare Home is much easier for someone with dementia to accept. Rather than a change of lifestyle, it is simply a change of address.
