MIND & MEMORY CARE
At Benchmark Senior Living at Plymouth Crossings, individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia are embraced and become part of our extended family from the moment they move in. Around-the-clock care and memorable experiences by long-time staff who love what they do are a source of our strong community pride.
Our Mind & Memory Care offers award-winning care and experiences so those with Alzheimer’s and dementia can prosper. From maintenance to resident care, our entire team has been Called to Care for our residents and enjoys providing personalized, needs-based care that supports individual abilities. We take the time to get to know who they are and what brings them joy and use every opportunity to create lasting relationships.
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.
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
Genuinely caring for someone means always wanting to do what’s best for them as an individual. We treat every resident as a whole person and design care according to their precise needs. With every interaction, we seek to provide varying support levels that strengthen bonds between those living with dementia, their families, and our associates.
One of the standout features of our Mind & Memory Care is our daily experiences which are tailored to their abilities and interests. Using what we know about each resident, we engage them in a wide variety of programs, including trips to local events, museums, Cape Cod and the islands, Monday Manicures that offer one-on-one connection and pampering, live musical performances and special luncheons and cookouts.
