Finding Heartfelt Support for Your Loved One
The search for dementia care is a journey of the heart, requiring deep compassion and a place that feels like a true community. As you explore options in the St. Louis area, you are seeking more than just safety; you are looking for a home where your family member will be celebrated for the individual they have always been.
At The Grande at Creve Coeur, we share that mission. Our dedicated Lilac Trace Memory Care program was created to be that place—a supportive and nurturing environment where expert care is delivered with warmth and respect, giving your family the peace of mind you deserve.
What Is Dementia Care?
Dementia care is a specialized approach to senior living that provides a structured, person-centered environment for individuals with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. It is a philosophy built on enhancing quality of life through a focus on:
- Safety: Using secure, thoughtfully designed spaces to minimize risks and provide confidence.
- Dignity: Honoring the life story and unique preferences of each resident.
- Engagement: Creating daily opportunities for social connection, joy, and purpose.
- Wellness: Managing health needs with a specially trained, 24/7 team.
It is a comprehensive philosophy that embraces and supports the entire family.
Is Dementia Care
the Same as Memory Care?
Yes, within the senior living industry, the terms dementia care and memory care refer to the same specialized service. Families often search for “dementia care” as it directly relates to a medical diagnosis.
“Memory care” is the common name communities use for their dedicated neighborhoods, evidence-based programs, and specially trained teams.
Who Is Dementia Care For?
A compassionate memory care environment can be profoundly beneficial for a loved one who is experiencing:
- Memory challenges that impact their daily safety and routine.
- Increased confusion, anxiety, or agitation.
- Difficulty with planning, problem-solving, or familiar tasks.
- A tendency to wander or become disoriented.
- Significant changes in mood or personality.
- Neglecting personal care or proper nutrition.
