THE CHALLENGES OF ADVANCED ALZHEIMER'S FOR THE FAMILY

Receiving an Alzheimer’s diagnosis is a life-altering event for the entire family. As the disease progresses, the level of care required can exceed what is possible at home. The journey can lead to questions, safety concerns, and the difficult decision of how to provide the best possible environment for your loved one.

For a person with advanced Alzheimer's, the world can become increasingly confusing. The need for a secure, stable, and compassionate environment is more critical than ever. This is the heart of our philosophy at Windchime of Marin.

THE IN-DEPTH APPROACH TO RESIDENTIAL ALZHEIMER'S CARE

Caring for an individual with advanced Alzheimer's requires a specialized, immersive approach.

At Windchime of Marin, our Alzheimer's care is built on a foundation of comprehensive, person-centered support within a secure residential community.
 

ENHANCING LIFE QUALITY THROUGH A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY

 

1. PERSONALIZED AND EVOLVING CARE PLANS

Alzheimer's is not a static condition, especially in its later stages. A resident's needs can change, and our care adapts accordingly. Our process begins with a thorough assessment involving family and medical providers to understand the resident’s personal history, current stage of the disease, and unique preferences. This allows us to create a customized care plan that provides both structure and flexibility. This plan is a living document, regularly reviewed and updated by our dedicated team to ensure it consistently meets the resident's evolving needs, from clinical support to daily engagement.

 

2. HIGHLY-TRAINED, 24/7 ON-SITE STAFF

Entrusting a loved one to our care is a responsibility we take to heart. We ensure every member of the Windchime of Marin team is not only compassionate but also specially trained in advanced dementia and Alzheimer's care. Our rigorous training program covers critical areas, including:

• Communication Strategies: Effectively and compassionately communicating with residents who have significant language and comprehension challenges.

• Managing Behavioral Symptoms: Understanding and managing advanced symptoms such as agitation, confusion, and anxiety with patience and proven techniques.

• Ensuring a Safe Environment: Our community is designed for safety, from secure perimeters to minimize wandering risks to accessible layouts that prevent falls and accidents.

• Promoting Purposeful Engagement: Implementing techniques from our Vibrant Life® program to stimulate cognitive function and provide joyful moments.

• Personal Care with Dignity: Assisting with all Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), including bathing, dressing, and incontinence care, in a way that is always respectful and maintains the resident's dignity.

 

3. SUPPORT WITH ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (ADLS)

Our on-site care staff provides hands-on support 24/7 to ease the daily challenges of living with Alzheimer's. This consistent assistance establishes a calm and predictable routine within our community, which is profoundly reassuring for someone with memory loss. Services include:

• Gourmet Dining and Meal Assistance: Our Elevate® dining program offers nutritious, delicious meals in a restaurant-style setting, with staff available to provide assistance and accommodate dietary needs.
• Medication Management: Our trained staff manages and administers medications as prescribed, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
• Mobility and Transfer Support: Helping residents move safely throughout the community, whether to meals, activities, or within their private apartment.
• Housekeeping and Laundry Services: Maintaining a clean and orderly personal apartment and providing laundry services, allowing residents to live comfortably without the burden of daily chores.

 

4. COMMUNITY, COMPANIONSHIP, AND ENGAGEMENT

One of the greatest benefits of our community is the elimination of the loneliness and isolation that can worsen the symptoms of Alzheimer's. Our staff and fellow residents provide a network of companionship. Our Vibrant Life® program is central to life at Windchime, offering a calendar full of activities that bring joy and purpose. Whether it's participating in a music program, enjoying gentle exercise, engaging in art therapy, or simply conversing in our shared living spaces, these moments of connection are fundamental to our residents' quality of life.
