The Buckner Calder Woods Memory Care Program
A memory care program treats seniors who have dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or suffered a stroke or other neurological disorder. This program supports seniors over the age of 65 who need round-the-clock care to maintain a certain quality of life. The CDC reports that there are about 5.8 million people living with dementia in the U.S., and that number is expected to increase to 14 million by 20502.
The Buckner Calder Woods memory care program does more than just treat the disorder—we believe in a whole-person approach to fighting dementia. Our dedicated team of medical professionals and support staff will create a comprehensive program that includes:
- Assistance with daily living needs
- 24/7 monitoring of vitals
- Physical, speech, and occupational therapy
- Medication management
- Housekeeping and laundry service
A culinary team will prepare fresh meals and snacks three times a day for residents, and there are plenty of socializing opportunities and activities to keep them active. Our memory care program provides seniors with a comfortable home-like setting where they will be close to their friends and quality medical care.
Calder Woods is part of Bucker Retirement Services, which has locations throughout the state of Texas. We will show you how to choose the right memory care program, which will include private suites, nutritious meals, and a dedicated team to meet all of your needs.
How to Choose the Right Memory Care Program
Moving into a memory care program can be stressful and aggravating to many people. Many seniors don’t know what to look for when choosing a memory care program that can adequately care for them.
If you are searching for a memory care program for your parents or elderly loved ones, be sure the senior living community has the following:
A Professionally Trained Staff
When touring a senior living community, be sure to ask about the experience level of the staff and what continuing education they receive. A professional memory care program will have a highly trained nursing staff that has experience in monitoring vitals, dispensing medications, tending to wounds, and other essential skills.
Multiple Therapeutic Services
Dementia affects the mind and body in unique ways. A person may lose their ability to speak, swallow properly, or perform basic tasks. Make sure the program includes physical, speech, and occupational therapies that they participate in regularly. These therapeutic services can build strength and dexterity and help seniors restore some lost functions.
Nutritious Meal Plans
A high-quality memory care program will include nutritious meals and snacks prepared by a professional culinary team. They provide residents with delicious meals that consider medical and dietary restrictions, such as:
- Celiac disease
- Diabetes
- Cardiac disease
- Cancer
- Acid reflux
- Food allergies
Services and Amenities
When choosing a memory care program, you want to ensure that the residents are comfortable and well taken care of. Choose a program that offers a wide range of personal services and amenities, such as community dining, daily housekeeping, memory-enhancement programs, and a 24-hour emergency response team.
Choosing the right memory care program takes some time and effort, but it will be well worth it. While touring various senior living communities and evaluating their memory care programs, be sure to ask friends and peers for their recommendations.
