Anxiety in older adults with dementia can stem from many causes, including cognitive confusion, communication difficulties, loss of independence, health issues, social isolation, and lifelong worry.

🧠 Confusion about surroundings or people
🧠 Trouble expressing needs
🧠 Feelings of helplessness
🧠 Physical discomfort
🧠 Social isolation
🧠 Pre-existing anxiety tendencies

Clinical guidelines recommend non-drug strategies first: routines, physical activity, emotional reassurance, and gentle redirection during anxiety. Our person-centered care helps residents feel safe, understood, and engaged every day.

A twist on comfort food, crafted by Chef Victoria: delicate pierogi bathed in a velvety Alfredo sauce, with sautéed mushrooms, red peppers, and sun ripened tomatoes from our very own garden. This was served with a side of thick garlic bread and parmesan kissed broccoli; this plate was as nourishing as it was tasty!

Close your eyes and imagine warm island breezes 🏝️, gentle waves, and the sound of steel drums… now open them to find Chef Victoria turning our activity space into a tropical paradise. With island grooves playing in the background and pineapples 🍍 sliced to perfection, she whipped up the most refreshing drinks; creamy, coconutty, and just the right amount of sunshine in a glass. Served with a side of pineapple, each sip and each bite was a mini vacation for the senses!

The MIND Diet, which stands for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay, combines the Mediterranean and DASH diets to support brain health. It focuses on plant-based foods like leafy greens, berries, whole grains, nuts, fish, and olive oil while limiting foods linked to cognitive decline. In memory care, this diet offers many benefits. Here are five key ones we emphasize:

🥦 Slowing cognitive decline with nutrient-rich foods
🥦 Promoting brain health through antioxidants and omega-3s
🥦 Reducing inflammation and supporting heart health
🥦 Enhancing emotional well-being and mood stability
🥦 Supporting independence and a sense of purpose

FAQ ❓ Can someone diagnosed with early onset dementia move into a senior living community?

Yes. While early onset dementia can affect younger adults, senior living communities are designed specifically for adults aged 55 and older. These memory care communities offer nurturing environments that support older adults in the early stages of dementia. They encourage engagement, promote independence, and uphold dignity as care needs evolve.
