Dementia Care Services at Town Square Sandy Springs
In many ways, dementia impacts both the patient and their family members in painful and emotional ways. As a loving caregiver, watching a family member suffer through the challenges of the disease can be overwhelming and exhausting. For the patient, navigating dementia as it progresses is equally as overwhelming, terrifying, and painful.
Fortunately, Town Square Sandy Springs has created a unique care and activity center for dementia patients to spend time under specialized, compassionate care in a nostalgic mid-century environment.
The team at Town Square Sandy Springs understands the struggle of patients and their family members and is committed to providing a safe, empathetic, and enriching place for those living with dementia.
Why Is Adult Day Care So Important for People with Dementia?
Dementia makes everyday tasks and routines more difficult. From struggling to socialize or remembering to take medication to get dressed and bathed, every day presents new challenges depending on the progression of the disease. Family members are heavily relied on for little and big tasks, making breaks from the situation critical.
Because of these difficulties, adult day care is a safe and effective option for people living with dementia.
Regular schedules and structure often help seniors with dementia find a sense of normalcy and confidence in themselves. At Town Square Sandy Springs, seniors will engage in structured activities and social opportunities in a comfortable setting where they feel supported and safe.
Benefits of an Adult Day Care Center for Dementia Care
Those living with dementia require socialization and physical and mental stimulation, and adult day care centers offer just that.
Through reminiscence therapy, Town Square Sandy Springs provides memory-enhancing exercises for our guests through 12 unique storefronts designed to look just like life in the 1950s and 60s. The themes of our storefronts represent the middle of the 20th century and allow our guests to garden, relax, and reminisce with friends within a familiar, nostalgic environment.
Dementia patients will receive plenty of socialization and cognitive stimulation through reminiscence therapy, helping slow cognitive decline and loneliness, and reigniting their curiosity and need for connection. This type of memory therapy also helps improve self-confidence and overall well-being for dementia patients.
Seniors can also enjoy group exercise classes, puzzles, and games, or reading period magazines and books.
Caregiver Benefits of Town Square Sandy Springs
For many caregivers who support those living with dementia, their own needs are often put on the back burner as the care needed can be 24/7 or a full-time job.
With the support of Town Square Sandy Springs, caregivers can have mental and physical breaks from caregiving so they can take care of themselves, engage in activities they enjoy, and have time away from their family members. With over 45 percent of caregivers reporting stress related to their responsibilities, caregivers must get frequent opportunities to step away from their role to have time for themselves.
Town Square Sandy Springs offers adult day programs during the week so seniors can receive the care they need and caregivers can find respite to recharge, rest, and take care of any essential tasks.
