Memory Care

Cadbury Commons Morningside Community

Our unique residential memory care program is designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other memory disorders.

The focus of the program is to provide security, structure and personal care services to enhance the quality of life for each resident. The secure Morningside Program includes an inviting sitting room, dining and activities area, country kitchen and outdoor courtyard.

Our Morningside staff is specifically trained to provide care for residents with Alzheimer’s or other dementias.

For each Morningside resident, our team creates an Individualized Service Plan including the resident’s past hobbies, career, and other special interests as revealed in the Resident Profile.

Personal Care

Assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, toileting, ambulation, and Self-Administered Medication Management or SAMM) – based on each Resident’s individualized service plan.

Purposeful Engagement

Meaningful Activities and Programs are designed to maintain independence, self-esteem, and participation in typical daily activities of life. The Morningside Program offers a structured day that incorporates physical exercise, brain games, life skills, expressive music therapy, entertainment, and enjoying the outdoors.

Memory Care Staff

Our specialized memory care staff strive to ensure that every resident is physically and mentally active and engaged and feeling positive each and every day.

Exercise

Exercise is very important for both mind and spirit. As such, varied, daily, exercise is offered to all of our residents who participate based on their physical and cognitive ability. Included in the programs are:

  • High stimulation exercise – important to increase brain circulation for activities of the day, including low impact aerobics, repetitions of arm lifts and leg lifts, marching to increase heart rate and overall body stretching.
  • Low stimulation exercise – especially important for residents who are prone to “sun-downing syndrome,” a term referring to people who become more confused during late afternoon or evening hours. Low stimulation exercises include walking group, stretching, shoulder/neck massages and socializing events such as afternoon tea and talk, and, when seasonally appropriate, enjoying our garden patio.
