Skilled Nursing Care for Alzheimer’s & Other Dementias
Memory care is designed to provide a safe, structured environment with
set routines to lower stress for people with Alzheimer's or dementia.
Allied Services Scranton Skilled Nursing offers a dedicated memory care
unit with long-term, short-term, and respite care. The memory care unit
in Scranton specializes in treating individuals with Alzheimer’s
disease and other senior dementias. The program stresses the importance
of improving and maintaining the quality of life for its residents.
Combining Skilled Nursing with Memory Care
While nursing homes provide 24/7 skilled nursing care, memory care facilities
offer a safe, structured environment that’s specially designed to
protect residents against wandering and self-harm. People who require
a higher level of support than what is offered in assisted living, or
who have advanced dementia that makes it unsafe to remain at home, may
find that memory care is their best long-term care option. Memory care
residents are generally free of any major health concerns aside from Alzheimer’s
or dementia, but they can no longer safely live in their own homes.
Our memory care program maintains a high staff-to-patient ratio. We go
to great lengths to ensure every resident is cared for by compassionate,
experienced, and trusted professionals who are committed to helping patients.
Family members and loved ones are encouraged to visit during appropriate
hours, and our staff is always happy to answer questions about a resident’s
well-being.
Memory Care Services
The memory care unit at our Scranton Skilled Nursing offers round-the-clock
nursing care and additional services including:
Group and individual therapeutic recreational programming, such as brain
games that are specifically designed to slow the progression of memory loss.
Assistance with activities of daily living, including dressing, grooming
and transferring.
Exercise, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, music
therapy and cognitive therapy, sensory stimulation programs.
Anti-wandering systems such as WanderGuard.
Holistic Care Approach
Witnessing a loved one develop the symptoms of dementia is not easy. We
know people want the best for their loved ones, so we use a holistic care
model focused on mind, body, and spirit. Our facility provides many services
to help residents feel comfortable and at ease in new surroundings. Moving
into a memory care facility can be frightening at first. We encourage
families to tour our facilities before deciding so they can help ease
the transition for their loved ones should they entrust their care with us.
