Choose Memory Care in Phoenix for Safety and Security

When it comes to choosing a place to live, safety and security are likely top concerns for most people. This shouldn’t be any different when you’re looking at memory care in Phoenix! 

When you make the decision to move into memory care, you are choosing a place that is going to be your home. It’s important you not just feel at home, but that you also are safe and secure where you’re living. This is arguably even more important if you or your loved one is suffering from Alzheimer’s or any other memory impairment, as this means relying on others more than usual. 

Putting your safety and security in the hands of someone else can be scary, but memory care in Phoenix is safe and secure, especially for us here at BridgeWater Assisted Living. Here’s a look at how we keep our memory care residents safe and secure at all times:

Different Levels of Care

When you are looking at memory care, check and see if they offer just one level of care or multiple ones. For instance, BridgeWater offers four different levels of care ranging from clinical oversight to personal care level. All levels of care keep our residents safe, but the amount of supervision increases with each level of care. This means if you or your loved one’s memory problems progress, their safety is still ensured as the level of supervision and assistance will increase accordingly.

Equilibrium

Here at BridgeWater we have the exclusive Equilibrium program, a science-based memory care program. It uses music, art, mindfulness, and other cognitive therapies to keep our resident’s minds, bodies, and spirits active, which leads to residents remaining as happy, safe, and healthy as possible. Real-time feedback is then provided both to residents and their families, allowing us to adjust the resident’s therapies and activities, helping them achieve maximum functionality and safety.

Personal Emergency Call Response System

Our communities use a personal emergency call system that isn’t simply one-size-fits-all. Instead, it’s customized based on our resident’s needs. This technology allows our staff to view clinical data on the resident, which will help them establish a care protocol. In addition, this technology also lets our staff see if there’s anything out of the ordinary, which could indicate an emerging health trend. If an anomaly is noticed, our staff can address it quickly, helping to mitigate something before it becomes an issue.

Accessible Staff 24/7

No matter what time of day it is, there will always be staff on-site at your memory care in Phoenix, in case a resident needs something. The staff on-site are not only professional and well-trained, but they’re caring, too. They can assist residents in many ways, including bathing and showering, dressing, grooming, feeding, medication management, and transfer assistance. If there is something that a resident can’t safely do on their own, there is someone on staff who is around to do it for them, any time of the day.Come visit our community by scheduling a visit today, and see if it would be a good fit for you or your loved one!
