If your loved one is wandering, increasingly agitated, or losing interested in food, these are dementia behaviors that indicate that their Alzheimer’s disease or memory disorder is likely to be progressing.  There are caregiver signs as well, such as unintended weight loss, prolonged and profound stress, or the inability to keep the older adult engaged in meaningful activity.  Combined, these are clear signs it is time to consider Memory Care assisted living.

Dementia care requires a particular understanding of memory loss symptoms and behaviors.  At MorseLife Memory Care in West Palm Beach, our staff is professionally trained and uniquely qualified to address the symptoms and effects of Alzheimer’s and dementia.  Our interdisciplinary team, led by our on-site Harvard-trained Geriatrician is supported by Certified Nursing Assistants and Licensed Practical Nurses who dispense medications.  We are specialists who provide customized, innovative Alzheimer’s and dementia care in a secure home-like environment with innovative programs that enhance cognitive and physical functioning.

At MorseLife Memory Care, we offer a single, all-inclusive fee which means when memory care needs increase, your payment does not increase with additional level of care fees. Unlike other Alzheimer’s care communities, there are no additional costs for care or management of care as the memory disease or disorder progresses.

All resident rooms at MorseLife Memory Care Residences are private.  Each is a suite where one can be surrounded by personal belongings that provide comfort, familiarity, and a sense of home.  Common areas, designed as tranquil “neighborhoods,” optimize opportunities for socialization and minimize reclusiveness or isolation.  Residents are encouraged to enjoy the lovely living areas, visit their neighbors, linger in our open kitchen and stroll through our award-winning gardens at their leisure.

Safety is one of the leading reasons families seek the support of a Memory Care community. When residents experience memory care living with structured days and meaningful memory care activities, they are less likely to attempt to wander out or leave the comfort of their environment. Our high-tech electronic security was purposely designed to be effective yet undetectable so that residents don’t feel trapped or demeaned. Visual cues are also used to redirect residents’ attention to their living areas and away from exit doors.
