MIND & MEMORY CARE
Blenheim-Newport residents benefit from care providers overseen by a registered nurse who are always there providing around-the-clock support. Also, daily, interest-oriented programs by tenured staff concentrated on helping our residents make the most of each day.
Our Mind & Memory Care offers care and experiences for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia that’s continually recognized as being among the best. It begins with our hand-selected associates who’ve been educated by quality programs and deliver personalized, needs-based care that supports individual abilities with pleasure. Human connection is at the heart of what we do, so strengthening bonds and making sure every resident feel at home is our priority.
How is Mind & Memory Care Different?
All the benefits of Benchmark Assisted Living with a specialized program and
environment for the unique needs of those with memory impairment.
Care Types
Mind & Memory Care Levels
- Our Mind & Memory Plan is for residents whose care needs consist primarily of cueing and reminders. Residents are appropriate for our Mind & Memory Care Plan if they generally exhibit mild cognitive impairment and no or limited behaviors such as aggression or resistance to care.
- Our Mind & Memory I Plan is for residents whose care needs consist primarily of a minimal level of physical assistance with activities of daily living, and minimal levels of cognitive impairment.
- Our Mind & Memory II Plan is for residents whose care needs require a moderate amount of physical assistance with several activities of daily living, and who generally exhibit moderate cognitive impairment.
- Our Mind & Memory III Plan is for residents whose care needs require a substantial amount of physical assistance with several activities of daily living, and who generally exhibit severe cognitive impairment and/or associated behaviors.
- Our Mind & Memory IV Plan is for residents who have extensive needs, for example: a need for total care with one or more activities of daily living, or a substantial amount of assistance is warranted on a daily basis.
- Our Mind & Memory V Plan is for residents who need total assistance with all aspects of care, as well as usage of a mechanical or electrical lift for transfers on an ongoing basis. They may also require extensive emotional/behavioral support.
Personalized, needs-based care to support individual abilities
We stay a step ahead with a personalized care plan created for each individuals’ unique needs and offer supportive services, so they remain empowered as they age. Our residents continue the activities of daily living they can manage on their own because we only provide them with what they need to age well.
Our program is also designed with signature programs and socialization that holistically addresses our residents’ health. We begin our days with current events and Benchmark Strong fitness classes to address strength and balance, followed by events like pet therapy, stimulating crafts, dance lessons and religious services, and Garden and Fiber Arts Clubs.
