Memory Support

LIVE LIFE TO THE fullest.

A life lived with forgetfulness is filled with ups and downs for both the elder and their loved ones. One of the major milestones in this journey is the moment of diagnosis. Whether it’s Alzheimer’s or another form of age-related dementia, it can feel like a devastating blow. Appropriately called, “The Long Goodbye,” loved ones begin to brace themselves for a long road ahead, filled with perpetual loss. This can be a painful journey but can also be filled with small victories and priceless moments too. One thing is for sure, you do not have to travel this long road alone, we can help.

Let our loving team of experts at Wesley Court at Stevenson Oaks, our Memory Care neighborhood, come alongside you to provide care, comfort and confidence for all that a day may hold. Our team looks beyond the diagnosis to develop a plan that is based around all that your loved one can do and not focused on what they can’t. Simple moments of connection can make all the difference, that’s why we put our full attention on understanding your loved one’s core needs which are based on the seven Eden Alternative Domains of well-being: identity, growth, autonomy, security, connectedness, meaning, and joy. Within these domains, none are specific to treating an illness but rather nurturing the person. You see, our team is committed to knowing and understanding the illness while understanding who they were, who they are, and what may lie ahead. We will be by your side, through it all. We can help.

Just a few more wins each day.

When your loved one moves into Wesley Court, our memory support community at Stevenson Oaks, expect lots of questions. What they like and dislike, their favorite foods, their key loved one’s names, their former occupation, hobbies, interests, favorite music and more. This is only a sampling of all we hope to learn so that we can effectively join them in their world.

We consider ourselves experts on tuning in to all that is said and those things that remain unsaid too. You see, when you understand that “behaviors” like crying, wandering, anger or restlessness are really just signs of an unmet need, suddenly the need for medications is reduced, anxiety and fear is less frequent and each day is filled with just a few more wins.

Evident in programs and activities that help residents through the day with less strain and more joy, Hand in Hand Training — the CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) program — equips our dementia care staff with the ability to assist each resident.

Stimulating an Appetite

Enjoying a delicious meal is one of life’s small pleasures. At Wesley Court at Stevenson Oaks, our chef wants every resident to find joy in their dining experience. That’s why our dining team goes the extra mile to keep appetites engaged with multi-sensory stimulation.

Sounds and Smells Matter — The aroma and sounds of mealtime kick start the appetite long before it’s time to eat. Our team understands the importance of engaging the senses and ultimately, the appetite.
Fresh is Best — we aim to serve meals made from scratch with fresh ingredients.
Food is plated in an attractive way to maximize interest — Even pureed food is piped onto the plate to resemble the actual food. 
Family style — each meal is enjoyed with our care partners sitting at the table dining alongside the elders to create a natural experience where both nutrition and connection are prioritized.
