A MEMORY CARE PROGRAM THAT CELEBRATES EVERY INDIVIDUAL
Memory care facilities are a thing of the past. Today’s memory care communities are just that - strong communities that provide a holistic approach to health and well-being for the whole family. Opal by Leisure Care ®, our signature memory care program, is based on our whole-person approach. By tailoring our services to meet the unique physical, social, and emotional needs of your loved one, we ensure that each day is filled with purpose and meaning. Although our residents may have a similar diagnosis, we know that each one comes to us with different life experiences. We don't take an umbrella approach to dementia care. The experience is unique. Our program uses a combination of our residents' life story and our seven pillars of wellness to ensure that your loved one is comfortable, cared for, and celebrated in their individualized way.
THE SEVEN PILLARS OF WELLNESS
Our signature PrimeFit program focuses on the unique physical abilities of each resident in both group and private sessions. We take into consideration the preferences and life story of our residents to create active moments throughout the day.
By providing a range of activities like picnics in the park, nature preserves, or live music at the community, our residents have the opportunity to experience the very things that have had importance to them their entire lives while also cultivating new experiences and interests.
Because spirituality means different things to different people, we draw from the life story of our residents to provide daily opportunities to practice meaningful spirituality in ways that are important to each resident.
Activities that elicit expression and provide sensory stimulation, like drawing, clay sculpting, or flower arranging are just a few of the ways residents can express themselves creatively each and every day.
Our goal is to offer daily opportunities for residents to complete tasks with a purpose. We find that tasks, like watering plants or helping the staff, become quite meaningful for residents.
We know that individuals living with a diagnosis of dementia often experience and express themselves through the five senses. The Opal program provides daily opportunities for our residents to positively interact in our community through what they see, hear, touch, taste, and smell.

A MEMORY CARE COMMUNITY FOR YOUR LOVED ONE
We understand that families do everything they can to care for loved ones who have Alzheimer's disease and related forms of dementia. We also know that with Alzheimer’s care comes inevitable stress on family relationships and finances.
Leisure Care senior living communities hire care partners who empathize with the challenges of caring for someone living with Alzheimer's or related forms of dementia. They're loving, positive, and dedicated to helping residents feel safe and secure. To top it off, they do it all with a healthy dose of patience, spontaneity, flexibility, humor, and fun.
Our memory care communities are specially designed environments promoting social interaction and more. We strive to meet individual care needs and support those living with cognitive challenges of Alzheimer's and related forms of dementia while partnering with families in care.
EXPERT CAREGIVERS AND HOLISTIC SERVICES
Knowledge of the disease is so essential to give the best possible care, but compassion is necessary. That's why we hire caregivers and staff members for each memory care community that possess both experience caring for people with memory loss and the right personality. Our caregivers receive extensive and ongoing training to care for a range of dementia behaviors. The bottom line? They love what they do, and they do it well.
There's no question, caring for a loved one is stressful for everyone involved. It's beyond sad to watch someone you know so well living in confusion, losing their memory, and seemingly, themselves. But a Leisure Care memory care community helps relieve some of that anxiety and stress. Your loved one can still find purpose and meaning each day in our memory care communities.
