Memory Care
at Platinum Communities
Memory Care provides a specialized level of support for seniors living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Platinum Communities goes beyond care at typical memory care facilities to offer a nurturing environment where each resident’s abilities, interests, and preferences are valued and respected.
Our Memory Care
Services & Amenities
Our memory care residents spend their days surrounded by people who encourage them to enjoy life, experience feelings of belonging and purpose, and maintain their current skills through our daily path of engagement. Our services and amenities include:
Quality Services
Our staff handles chores such as laundry and housekeeping, while providing support throughout the day, whether it’s during meals, taking medication, bathing, and more.
Person-Centered Care
Because we’re all unique, we believe in providing quality care that caters to each individual resident. Sometimes that means using a different approach for one person than we would for another. It’s all with the goal of getting to know each resident for who they are and incorporating their individual needs and interests into their care plan.
A Warm and Welcoming Atmosphere
Our communities feature apartments that feel and function like a private home with bathrooms and plenty of natural light. You’ll also find easy-to-navigate floor plans, areas where seniors can participate in everyday activities, and walls painted in cheerful, soothing colors.
A Secure Setting
To help keep residents safe, many of our communities keep exterior doors secured 24 hours a day, and have doorbells at the entrances and exits to monitor who comes through the building. Many locations also feature enclosed courtyards so residents can explore the outdoors while remaining safely in the community.
Highly-Trained Care Team
We don’t just hire good people; we invest in quality training and education. Our staff receives initial and ongoing training to help them keep up-to-date on the latest dementia care techniques.
Engaging and
Purposeful Living
Platinum Communities provides its residents with unique, life-enriching activities to enhance and maximize quality of life. Our compassionate care team is dedicated to helping residents continue to live with purpose and meaning. Our residents stay engaged with a gentle daily structure of planned activities to help them maintain their abilities and encourage the use of their current skills. Brain games, dancing, art classes, and music programs are just a few of the ways our residents enjoy their days.
