Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease affects more than memory. Changes in judgment, language, behavior, and daily functioning often develop over time. Explore the most common symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and what families should expect.
Recognizing Early Signs of Dementia
Occasional forgetfulness is a normal part of aging, but persistent changes in memory, thinking, or behavior may indicate dementia. Learn how to recognize early signs and when it may be time to seek professional guidance.
Symptoms of Dementia
Different forms of dementia can affect cognition, communication, mobility, and emotional well-being in different ways. Review common dementia symptoms and how they may impact daily life.
Stages of Dementia
As dementia progresses, a person's care needs, abilities, and daily routines often change. Understanding the stages of dementia can help families plan ahead and provide meaningful support at every phase of the journey.
Dementia Life Expectancy
Every dementia journey is unique, and life expectancy can vary based on the type of dementia, overall health, age, and other individual factors. Understanding what may influence disease progression can help families make informed decisions and plan for future care needs with greater confidence.
Person-Centered Care with Pathways of Purpose
At Anthem Memory Care, we believe every person living with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia deserves individualized care that honors their life story, abilities, preferences, and personal relationships. Our Pathways of Purpose® program takes a holistic approach to memory care by considering not only an individual's cognitive and physical needs, but also their interests, culture, faith, and experiences.
Built on evidence-based practices, Pathways of Purpose® focuses on creating meaningful moments of engagement throughout each day. Rather than viewing activities as simple entertainment, we design purposeful experiences that promote connection, encourage independence, and support emotional well-being. Through this personalized approach, we strive to protect, engage, and love those living with memory loss while helping families find comfort and confidence in their loved one's care.
Technology in Service of Care
At Anthem Memory Care, technology enhances the care experience without ever replacing the human connections that matter most. We utilize innovative tools such as It's Never 2 Late® (iN2L) to provide interactive opportunities for recreation, lifelong learning, cognitive engagement, and meaningful communication with family members and friends.To further support resident well-being, our communities incorporate discreet safety and monitoring technologies designed specifically for individuals living with memory loss. These tools help our care teams respond quickly, promote safety, and provide families with added peace of mind while preserving residents' dignity and independence.
Better Together
Meaningful connections span generations. Through our Better Together program, residents enjoy opportunities to engage with students, young volunteers, and local schools in ways that inspire conversation, laughter, and friendship. These multigenerational experiences often spark cherished memories, encourage social engagement, and create moments of joy for everyone involved.By bringing together younger and older generations, we foster a sense of connection, purpose, and community that enriches daily life and reminds residents that they remain valued, involved, and connected to the world around them.
Pet Visits
Animals bring with them a unique therapy of their own. Through local partnerships, we are able to provide regular animal visits; and they never fail to bring joy and delight. The positive effects of pet therapy on seniors are well known, but you need only see their faces light up when a friendly animal walks into our center to understand its amazing impact.
Custom Menus & Nutrition
Nutrition is critical to the health and wellness of those with cognitive impairment. This is why we provide a very specialized menu for each of our residents. We work together with you and your loved one's physician to determine the most beneficial nutrition and meal plan. Then we let our chefs go to work to make every meal as tasty and appealing as it is nutritious.
