You want to be successful in finding the best memory care community in Boise.  In order to make this decision, it’s important to address the specific needs of the person in a way that is comfortable to them.

At Emerson House, we know that in order to provide good memory care, it’s essential to understand how your loved one sees the world and how their dementia is likely to progress so that good decisions can be made on their behalf.  Knowledge is key.

Finding your way through caring for someone with dementia is a special set of circumstances that calls for a special solution. At Emerson House, we began with an understanding of how a person with Alzheimer’s disease or another related dementia experiences the world and created a community to meet those needs. From our staff, to our training, to the way our building is designed, we’re prepared to provide the best possible care.

For those caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or other forms of Dementia, it’s imperative to find a community that specializes in memory care services.  The needs of a person with dementia are unique and different than those that need assisted living. Also, the training and skill level of the staff is different than the staff that provides assisted living. They are two different situations that require different skill sets and a different environment.

A person with dementia needs specialized care, that requires a professional staff that has been well trained to provide appropriate, competent and sensitive care that supports the Alzheimer’s and dementia patient.

At Emerson House, we know that to provide the best memory care, you have to understand the individual cognitive, medical, physical, and social needs of each person. To do so, requires an understanding of how they see the world, and how that viewpoint is likely to change moving forward. Our cognitive evaluation is offered free of charge so family members can understand their loved ones from a new perspective – one of hope and change, rather than one of fear and misunderstanding.
