At Mira at Maumelle, each resident’s customized, senior living experience begins with our team chronicling their life story so we may thoroughly get to know them and deeply understand their background, preferences, interests, talents, and abilities. Each person’s life story is a foundation that provides our heartfelt team with resources needed to develop a personalized, holistic approach to the care and services we deliver each day. By cultivating meaningful relationships with our residents, we design person-centered activities and experiences that resonate with each person on a deeper level.
Our signature memory care program was developed using evidence-based approaches from the Alzheimer’s Association and informed by dementia and geriatric research. We prioritize the unique needs and strengths of each resident, going beyond just the diagnosis. By crafting personal life stories and conducting regular assessments, we gauge our residents’ abilities and curate activities based on their interests and natural flow of the day. Overall, our methods promote independence and empower residents to perform daily tasks as they are able, with our team offering support whenever necessary.
To ensure our team is fully versed in the care of those with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, our key care team members participate in essentiALZ®, a comprehensive training and certification program. Developed by the Alzheimer’s Association, the program educates professional care workers on dementia-related disease and how to safely, confidently care for individuals residing in memory care. High-quality dementia care training can lead to an improvement in communication between caregivers and individuals living with dementia, a reduction in dementia-related behaviors, and increased team satisfaction.
As a Fit Minds, partner, our team members have access to a variety of specialized training in the key areas of cognition. Some have taken this training even further and have been designated as certified cognitive coaches.
