Many families approach memory care with hesitation and concern, wondering if it’s the right decision. Yet time and again, families share that the reality of memory care exceeds their expectations in ways they hadn’t imagined. The structured environment, specialized care and thoughtful programming create positive ripple effects that improve quality of life for both residents and their families.
Here are four meaningful ways memory care at our Community First Solutions Senior Living Communities enhances daily life for everyone involved:
1. Multi-Sensory Enrichment
Through our TouchPoint Sensory approach, residents experience life through all five senses in ways specifically designed for memory care. From interactive cooking lessons to dedicated sensory stations, every element of daily life is thoughtfully crafted to promote emotional well-being, spark joy and maintain cognitive abilities for as long as possible.
TouchPoint Sensory also integrates advanced technology that further engages the senses of our memory care residents. These technologies include Lucynt Magic Tables that promote cognitive stimulation through projection and sound and Crdls®—care instruments that create connection by translating touch into sound.
2. Improved Health and Safety
Memory care communities — such as Montage Mason and The Cottage of Mason, and The Patterson in Beavercreek, Ohio — provide thoughtfully designed spaces that prioritize safety and ease of navigation. Our memory care team members complete rigorous TouchPoint Sensory certification, equipping them with advanced skills in communication, interaction and engagement techniques specifically tailored for memory care residents.
Rooms and common areas are arranged with dementia and Alzheimer’s needs in mind, offering safe spaces to move freely—an essential feature as spatial awareness becomes more challenging.
Beyond safety, residents’ overall health often improves. Consistent medication management, proper nutrition and gentle daily movement lead to noticeable gains in physical health and mobility. Regular monitoring ensures small issues are addressed before they become serious concerns.
3. Enhanced Daily Structure
Memory care provides residents with a purposeful daily rhythm, balancing engaging activities with restorative quiet moments. This structured yet flexible routine helps reduce anxiety and confusion while promoting better sleep patterns and overall well-being.
4. Renewed Social Connections
Through carefully crafted group activities and shared experiences, residents find new friendships and rediscover community. Our TouchPoint Sensory-certified specialists facilitate these connections through personalized engagement plans that balance individual attention with group sessions.
By weaving together multi-sensory experiences—whether through music, familiar scents, or hands-on activities—residents find common ground and forge friendships through shared moments that transcend words. These interactions often spark joy and engagement, even in those who may have become isolated at home.
