How Our Memory Care Residents Live an Active Lifestyle

Every day holds potential for joy, connection, and gentle activity; especially when memory challenges are met with understanding and expertise.

At 10 Wilmington Place Memory Care, we've learned something beautiful: when activities are thoughtfully adapted, residents don't just participate; they flourish. Our specialized community creates daily opportunities for physical engagement, cognitive stimulation, and emotional connection in an environment designed for comfort and safety.

 

The Science of Gentle Movement

While memory challenges are real, CDC research offers hope: physical activity supports brain health and may help slow cognitive decline. More immediately, gentle movement improves sleep quality and reduces anxiety; crucial benefits for residents experiencing confusion or agitation.

Our Memory Care activities honor this science through:

  • Therapeutic walks where residents can take in new scenery safely
  • Music and movement sessions that tap into long-term memories and natural rhythm
  • Sensory activities like textured crafts that engage both mind and body
  • Guided active time like Noodle Ball and Beach Ball Toss that provide purpose and gentle physical activity
  •  

Routine as Foundation

Structured routines reduce anxiety while ensuring regular physical activity. Our days flow naturally from morning movement to afternoon engagement to evening relaxation; all adapted to meet residents wherever they are in their memory journey.

 

Honoring the Individual

Memory Care isn't one-size-fits-all. We work closely with families to understand each resident's history, preferences, and abilities. Was Dad a dancer? We incorporate music and movement. Did Mom love cooking? She helps with simple food preparation that exercises fine motor skills.

These personalized approaches often unlock surprising moments of clarity and joy. Residents who seem withdrawn suddenly light up during familiar activities, their bodies remembering what their minds struggle to recall.

 

Comprehensive Care for Whole-Person Wellness

Our award-winning culinary team, led with Certified Executive Chef Keith Davis, creates brain-healthy meals rich in nutrients that support cognitive function. Meal times become opportunities for social interaction and gentle movement; from walking to the dining area to the fine motor skills involved in eating.

Our team understands the unique challenges of Memory Care, providing medication management and personal care with patience and dignity while encouraging independence in physical activities whenever possible.

 

Creating Joy in Each Moment

The Humphries/Williams family's 39-year commitment to compassionate care shines especially bright in Memory Care. We don't promise to restore memories, but we create new moments of happiness, connection, and gentle achievement every single day.
