Navigating the journey of aging becomes particularly poignant when faced with challenges like Parkinson's Disease. Memory care home, therefore, becomes not merely a service but a sanctuary. It’s about creating spaces that are not only safe but where senior individuals feel genuinely at home.
Our resort-style living community is a testament to our belief that a fulfilling later life is about more than care—it's about joy, connection, and living a life full of moments worth remembering.
Our memory care home is built on this foundation, offering tailored support that respects each resident's individuality. From personalized therapies to daily activities, we focus on enhancing quality of life. We’ve designed a community where every corner, every service, speaks directly to the needs and happiness of our residents.
Install Grab Bars in Bathrooms for Safety and Independence
Bathroom falls are risky but preventable. Grabbing bars next to the toilet and in the shower or bath can give your loved one something sturdy to hold onto. This makes using the bathroom safer and helps them stay independent.
Choose bars that contrast with the wall color so they are easy to see. Make sure they're at the right height and place for your loved one to use easily. With these in place, the bathroom becomes less scary for both of you.
Regularly check that the grab bars are secure. Over time, they can become loose. Checking them helps prevent accidents. These bars show that safety can be simple but effective.
Use Slip-Resistant Flooring Throughout to Prevent Falls and Injuries
Slippery floors are hazardous. Slip-resistant flooring can help. Consider using rubber mats or slip-resistant tiles, especially in wet places.
A carpet can also be a good option. It doesn't have to be expensive. Low-pile is best because it's easier to walk on than deep-pile carpet, which can be a trip risk. Clear pathways free of rugs and clutter reduce fall risks and make walking through the home less demanding for those with Parkinson's.
Optimize Lighting in Every Room for Visibility and Comfort
Good lighting is essential. It can significantly affect how safely someone can move through their home. Add lights where shadows fall and use bulbs that mimic natural light.
Motion-sensor lights transform spaces. They light up without the need to flip switches. This can help during the night or when hands are unsteady. These small changes can brighten the day-to-day experiences of your loved one, making it easier for them to see and move around.
Light switches should be reachable. Lower them if needed, or consider remote-control lights. Bright, accessible lighting can give your loved one more confidence to move independently.
Simplify Furniture Layout to Enhance Mobility and Reduce Clutter
A simple layout with plenty of space to move is best. Choose furniture that is sturdy and at the right height. Armchairs and sofas should be easy to get in and out of. Remove unnecessary items that could cause trips.
Having clear spaces to walk through means less worry about falling. This also makes the home easier to navigate with a walker or wheelchair if needed. Keep the layout familiar. Too much change can be confusing.
Put daily-use items where they can easily be reached. This can help your loved one feel more in control and less frustrated. An organized, clutter-free environment not only looks better but is safer.
