When a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias many families initially choose to care for them at home.
However, as the disease progresses, individuals will eventually require 24/7 assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and eating.
Even the most dedicated families can struggle to provide the necessary care for a loved one, due to work commitments, safety concerns, and a lack of knowledge regarding dementia caregiving.
Entrusting the care of a vulnerable loved one to a memory care community is a difficult decision. We understand the trust you’re placing in us, and we don’t take this responsibility lightly.
Our Ensemble Memory Care communities are designed to help individuals with memory loss maintain their independence and dignity. We offer a more effective approach to memory care by providing personalized care in a secure and structured environment.
Discover how Allegro’s Ensemble Program is redefining memory care through our compassionate, interdisciplinary approach that honors the mind, body, and spirit of each resident.
Allegro Ensemble’s Philosophy of Care
Allegro’s Ensemble memory care programming focuses on an integrated, holistic approach to wellness that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit.
Our residents participate in a variety of thoughtfully curated activities designed to engage their minds and bodies.
From physical fitness and sensory stimulation to recreational events and opportunities for social interaction, our program provides daily opportunities for residents to remain active and engaged.
1. Person-Centered Care
Allegro’s trained associates take the time to get to know each resident personally to understand their likes, dislikes, needs, and preferences.
This information allows us to create computer-generated activities and programming customized to residents’ talents and interests. Allegro’s goal is to create a variety of stimulating and meaningful life experiences for each individual.
2. Life Skill Centers
Ensemble’s life skill centers are a memory care activity which includes immersive, life-size environments where residents can reminisce and relive their life skills.
These centers are themed with activities such as:
- Woodworking
- Veteran’s memorabilia
- Childcare
- Safe interactive objects to engage residents, prompt conversation, and evoke pleasant memories
Residents receive reminiscence lap baskets personalized with photos or mementos that act as continuous reminders of past connections and experiences that define a life well-lived. Elements within the center are refreshed often, so residents and families always have new activities to share.
3. Highly Trained Professionals
Allegro Ensemble’s highly trained team of experienced memory care professionals are dedicated to providing the highest level of compassion, care, and support to our residents. We also partner with professional associations to provide support, education, and helpful resources to our residents and their families.
4. Safe & Serene Surroundings
Allegro Ensemble communities are equipped with state-of-the-art security systems to provide the highest level of care for residents. Ensemble’s memory care neighborhoods feature family-style living to encourage interaction and provide a welcoming feeling of home. Resident suites are thoughtfully designed with abundant natural light and warm neutral tones to create a soothing personal sanctuary.
5. Superior Dining Experiences
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, poor nutrition may increase behavioral symptoms and cause weight loss in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias.
Allegro’s Ensemble’s dining services provide a wide range of delicious and healthy food options. Our chefs take great pride in creating thoughtfully prepared dishes to delight residents at every meal.
We can also prepare customized meal plans for residents with dietary restrictions due to chronic conditions or weight management needs.
Ensemble memory care communities create dining experiences in a home-like setting with pleasing aromas, tastes, and textures that appeal to people with memory loss.
