Memory Care

CREATING MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES

Memory issues are often among the first warning signs of cognitive decline, with some individuals progressing from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer’s disease. Caring for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s can be a daunting and exhausting responsibility without the right support.

At Linden Center in Brooklyn, we understand the complexities of memory loss care. That’s why we’ve developed the Dementia and Alzheimer’s Program—a comprehensive approach that prioritizes compassionate care for residents while providing essential support for their families.

REMINISCENCE THERAPY: A CORE ELEMENT OF OUR PROGRAM

Our Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care Program centers on Reminiscence Therapy, which integrates meaningful, engaging activities into daily life. By fostering emotional connections and enhancing cognitive functions, this approach helps create fulfilling experiences for our residents.

Key Features of the Program Include:

  • Physical Activities: Daily exercises and movement-based activities that promote physical health while stimulating cognitive and emotional well-being.
  • Therapeutic Activities: A balanced program featuring educational and spiritual activities for personal growth, along with artistic endeavors that encourage creativity and self-expression.
  • Community Outings: Residents enjoy outings that enrich their lives, such as trips to see holiday lights and other local attractions, offering moments of joy and connection.
  • Sensory Rooms: Specially designed sensory rooms provide a calming space to reduce behavioral episodes caused by anxiety or overstimulation, particularly in the early stages of Alzheimer’s.
  • Family Support Groups: We offer regular support groups where family members can share experiences, connect with others, and receive guidance in navigating the challenges of caregiving.

At Linden Center, our memory care program is built on the principles of empathy, engagement, and connection. By focusing on the well-being of both residents and their families, we create a nurturing environment where individuals with dementia or Alzheimer’s can thrive.
