If they have someone to do things with, they are more likely to participate in the activities offered and improve their quality of life while making new friends. Sharing a living space with another person can drastically reduce the feeling of isolation and loneliness while promoting physical and mental health in memory care residents. Research shows that seniors with dementia who have strong social support experience delayed cognitive impairment.
Some of these issues include confusion in the evening hours, wandering, depression and aggression just to name a few. Having a companion nearby can help minimize the confusion of waking up alone. If there is someone else in the room, they are less likely to get up and wander looking for somebody. Great care for your loved with dementia is priceless, but sometimes the budget is tight.
A companion suite is the perfect solution! You get all the enriching and innovative care that your loved one needs with a significant savings. Because companion suites are easier on the budget, they also offer family caregivers some peace of mind that they will be able to keep a great quality of life for their loved one for an extended period of time.
At Oxford Senior Living, we do more than care for your loved one, we care about them. We work with families to create individualized profiles of life before the disease to provide an enriched lifestyle that is unique to each resident. Companion living may be perfect for your loved one.
