There are distinct differences between Memory Care and other types of senior communities. Although it would be easy to think that any senior community that has residents with dementia is a Memory Care community, nothing could be farther from the truth.

Memory Care communities, like Posada at Whittier, were created solely to serve the needs of people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

These needs may include supervision 24/7 by specially trained staff, specialized communication techniques and management of difficult behavior. People with Alzheimer’s and other dementias may also need cuing or hands on help with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, eating, transferring from bed to a chair or wheelchair, toileting or other personal care. Because many people with dementia wander, our Memory Care community also provides a secure environment that allows a person to move freely within the community, but prevents them from leaving without supervision.

When you need short-term, temporary care for a loved one, you can count on Posada at Whittier. We have the facility, staff, and services conducive to a successful respite stay. Respite care can be a few days, weeks, or months.

We understand that being a full-time caregiver is a demanding job, both physically and emotionally. The continuous demands of someone with special needs can take its toll. At some point, something is going to give….Don’t let it be you!

Respite care provides a short-term break that is essential for all involved. Some common benefits include:

• Relief of stress – Everyone needs a break, even if it’s just for a short time. Taking a break from care allows you to re-charge and restore your energy.
• Restore balance in your life – your life doesn’t need to stop because you are caring for another. Taking time to keep your life in order will give you peace of mind.
• Being a better caregiver – If you become overwhelmed by caring for another, you’re at risk for issues like depression, guilt, anger, sleep disorders and strained relationships.
• Be healthier – Taking a break is necessary for mental and physical health. A frequent and regular break will prevent both health and stress issues.
