Enriching Care for Alzheimer’s & Dementia
At NorBella Savage, we provide a secure, comforting physical space designed to support loved ones navigating Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
By handling high-acuity clinical details and daily logistics behind the scenes, we lift the heavy daily pressures of caregiving from your shoulders.
Our warm, boutique community allows you to set aside the stress of care coordination and confidently step back into your natural role as a supportive spouse, child, or close friend during your visits.
What Is Memory Care?
Memory care is a highly specialized, secure senior living option structured specifically to ease spatial confusion, mitigate wandering risks, and provide a predictable, calming daily flow.
It differs from standard assisted living by maintaining a highly structured physical environment, an elevated caregiver-to-resident ratio, and therapeutic sensory routines tailored to reduce anxiety.
- They have cognitive deficiencies like Alzheimer’s and dementia.
- They need more professional caregiving services.
- They are not able to live at home safely anymore.
- They struggle with stress or anxiety while living alone.
- They have a history of injuries, or if they are known to wander.
To ensure our staff is providing the best care possible, we have them complete our Enriching Connections program: a unique training program designed to help our staff create meaningful relationships with our memory care residents.
Success in this program is determined by meeting these several pillars:
- Relationships & Community: Every individual is invited to belong.
- Commitment: Our team is committed to providing every resident with personalized care.
- Certification & Training: All management and memory care staff are certified in dementia care by the Alzheimer’s Association, in addition to other dementia training.
- Services: Our nursing staff is at the ready to help families make the best decisions for their loved ones.
- Meaningful Life & Engagement: “Inspire Wellness for Life” is our core program philosophy that promotes the best quality of life for every resident.
- Environment: We make continuous improvements so that our community remains dementia-friendly.
- Accountability: We are always monitoring processes, plans, and culture to maintain our high standards of care.
No 2 people are ever the same, and their care should reflect how unique they are. Just before your loved one moves into our community, we take a look at their daily needs so we can customize the right level of care for them.
Some of these daily tasks can include:
- Eating
- Bathing and personal hygiene
- Moving around
- Managing medications
- Dressing
COMPLETE Senior Living
Managing progressive cognitive decline should never mean compromising on physical healthcare.
Every resident has integrated access to COMPLETE Senior Living, our medical and wellness framework designed to manage complex clinical care directly inside your loved one’s private apartment.
We anticipate health events before they escalate. Our highly trained staff are uniquely equipped to handle complex physical health needs alongside cognitive care, including high-acuity diabetic management, allowing residents to age in place safely without the trauma of moving again.
Emergency room visits can be deeply disorienting and traumatic for someone with dementia. Our mobile Urgent Responders act as an in-home ER alternative, providing advanced care and diagnostics directly in the familiar, calming comfort of our community.
Disrupting a memory care resident’s routine for a doctor’s appointment can cause unnecessary anxiety. We bring primary care directly to them, building deep, trusting, and familiar relationships between your loved one and our dedicated in-house medical teams.
