Researching memory care communities for yourself or a loved one can quickly become overwhelming. You aren’t merely dealing with the emotional, physical and mental aspects of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia or other memory issues; you’re also trying to determine what memory care community is the right fit.
Alzheimer’s and dementias are progressive diseases, but with the right care, memory loss can actually be slowed or halted for amounts of time. In order to provide the best quality of life for an individual and increase the potential of retaining memory for as long as possible, it’s important to find a memory care community that places a high priority on wellness, has a specially trained staff and can point to a long track record of success for their residents.
Every community is different, which is why it’s important to research each one and weigh the pros and cons to determine the best fit for you or your loved one. Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee was built to exclusively serve area seniors living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other memory issues. Our proprietary Bridges® programming was developed in conjunction with international authorities on memory issues, and our care approach has improved the lives of literally thousands of families and individuals through all stages of memory loss.
At Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee, we work to understand our residents on an individual basis and creatively build Bridges to cross the gaps left by memory impairments. We cross those Bridges® every day by providing meaningful engagement, fulfilling independence, support and rewarding opportunities for success.
