Why Choose Memory Care Chattanooga Services at the Rosewood?
PATHWAYS INTENTIONAL
MEMORY CARE
Pathways Intentional Memory Care is our program at the Rosewood, and through it we focus on creating a positive environment and community for memory care residents. Our program is built on non-drug therapies such as pet and music therapy, as well as iN2L– an engagement technology that incorporates user-friendly software and interactive games, and we work to help preserve memory skills through intentional activities. Though there is no known cure for dementia or Alzheimer’s at this time, we can work to manage the symptoms through these techniques and create a happy, comfortable, and safe environment for our Memory Care residents in the process.
ENCOURAGING
ACTIVITY
Remaining active brings joy and excitement into the lives of our residents. Curating programs that help our residents live stimulating lifestyles is important to us. Our Memory Care programs are intentionally crafted to encourage new, happy memories, and movement. Our residents are full of life, and we seek to celebrate life with them everyday.
IN2L PERSON-CENTERED
ENGAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY
An integral part of our Memory Care program, iN2L Person-Centered Engagement Technology applies easy-to-use, stimulating software for recreation, social connection, and memory engagement for our residents who benefit from it. Interactive games and Google Earth-guided tours of their childhood homes create an expanded world from the comfort of their own neighborhoods. iN2L also serves as a footing for more interactive communication with family, friends, and caregivers. Together we can develop a personalized account for your loved one, filled with their favorite activities to aid in their memory care success.
PET THERAPY
Pet Therapy is another facet of our memory care program, and shows great promise as a beneficial therapy for residents battling the effects of dementia or memory loss. While interacting with trained companion animals, memory care patients are able to develop meaningful connections. The act of caring for and nurturing a pet can stimulate rich memories, while also helping to reduce anxiety and depression. This simple exchange of love often has a calming effect on our residents while creating enjoyable distractions teeming with cuddles and smiles.
MUSIC THERAPY
The Rosewood takes pride in our Music Therapy programs, yet another helpful facet of our memory care efforts. Music therapy can stimulate memories through the use of songs residents recognize and enjoy. The results are truly inspiring! Just like flipping a switch, the use of music often serves as a jumpstart to the cognitive process. We find that music therapy often results in dancing, smiles, happiness, and the kind of life enrichment our loved ones deserve and benefit from.
Quality Memory Care results in fewer hospital visits,
improved appetite, and an overall higher quality of life.
Family & Community
FAMILY EVENTS
Welcoming family members into our community at the Rosewood as often as possible is an important aspect of our monthly event calendar, dietary program, and all major holidays.
VISITATION
While the coronavirus pandemic has affected the way we approach visitors, we’re happy to help arrange visits with family and friends in coherence with the guidelines for retirement communities set forth by the local health department to keep everyone safe and healthy during this time.
Monthly Newsletters
Communication is key! Sharing what we’ve been up, as well as information about our upcoming events and activities is a huge priority, as we want to ensure our residents and their families have every opportunity to participate. As such, we produce a monthly newsletter with a print edition featuring some classic word games and community news for our residents, as well as a digital newsletter which is sent to family via email.
