Our signature Enliven Memory Care is based on 5 guiding principles:
Self Expression
Days with purpose-
To thrive and grow, we all need to feel a sense of purpose. Whether this is recognized in past achievements, in a spiritual sense, in an artful way, or just through daily routine engagement, we let whatever “purpose” means to our residents guide their day, even if that changes from day to day or hour to hour.
Comfort in familiarity-
Each person is unique. We support each resident in setting up familiar activities, cues, meals, and more. Then we help add creative moments of expression that are meaningful to their life.
Relationships
A family-style atmosphere-
La Vida Real offers a family-style atmosphere to stimulate relationships. Because, as we’ve seen, when residents build relationships with each other, with family, and with staff, the result is enriching in so many positive ways.
Encouraging connections-
Our small-group and one-on-one engagements encourage friendships to form naturally. Residents often initiate these relationships themselves. Or staff may work to establish and support them when they see mutual interests.
Movement
Movement creates well-being-
Physical and cognitive movement is a large component of a person’s well-being. And those living with dementia are no exception. Therefore, we plan and encourage exercise, movement, and mental stimulation.
Music. Games. Dining-
We approach movement in many creative ways: music, brain health games, personalized dining experiences, and more. Dining, in particular, can often promote self-reliance and interaction with others. We adapt to each resident, finding what works best for them.
Innovation
We stay current-
Dementia research is rapidly uncovering new information. Sometimes it’s difficult for families to keep up. But that new research and the innovative ideas it uncovers can be incredibly useful. So we keep up. We continually train and remain EssentiALZ® certified by the Alzheimer’s Association. In addition, all our Enliven Directors earn their CDP (Certified Dementia Practitioners) license.
New research. New ideas-
We transform our knowledge into real tools that can help our residents. We incorporate technology, such as Linked Senior, a resident engagement platform used to help increase interactions between team members and residents, and brain fitness workouts, including personalized content, into our residents’ days. We’ve learned that the therapeutic use of music can significantly benefit people with dementia.
Partnership
It truly is a partnership-
When your family and our team work together, the results are amazing. So, in the beginning, we’ll ask questions. Lots of questions. That way, we can develop a person-centered plan tailored to your loved one.
Communication-
We believe communication is key to building trust and creating peace of mind. We will work with you to establish a communication cadence that matches your preferences.
Get involved-
Stay connected and informed with support groups and educational presentations. Attend social events to foster connections with other families.
