MIND & MEMORY CARE
Crescent Point at Niantic residents benefit from round-the-clock support that’s given with lots of love and high levels of skill with care overseen by a registered nurse. We also get to know our residents and offer experiences that cater to their abilities, needs and celebrate their lives.
Our Mind & Memory Care offers award-winning care and experiences so those with Alzheimer’s and dementia can prosper. It begins with our team who’ve been specially selected and expertly educated to deliver personalized, needs-based care that supports individual abilities. Human connection is at the heart of everything we do. We cultivate feelings of belonging and purpose and strengthen bonds between those living with dementia, their families and our associates.
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
We take great pride in tailoring care precisely to their individual needs and staying a step ahead using personalized care plans. Our plans help our residents age well by maximizing their current capabilities and providing support for only the tasks they need assistance with.
Our program also includes holistic experiences throughout each day that allow our residents the opportunity to find joy in each new day. We offer creative classes that stimulate the senses and help improve cognitive skills, such as our signature Art at Heart program, pottery making and baking club. Programs like off-site trips to local restaurants, museums and local landmarks energize while live music, and pet therapy relaxes.
