Anam is a licensed assisted living campus with a range of facilities that provide advanced memory care for persons with dementia. Anam is built around Anam Cara – a beautiful philosophy of love, friendship and nurturing the soul. It literally means soul friend. For people needing memory care, they are secured and safe. Anam Memory Care Campus represents Rockford’s only locally owned and operated assisted living facilities. Our memory program, refined through 35 years of experience, received “Special Care” distinction from the Illinois Department of Public Health.
The dementia journey is a life experience fraught with confusion and doubt. Through Anam’s professional partnership with Satori Pathway Healthcare consultants, we offer insight and guidance based upon five decades of expertise in the field of senior healthcare and financing. We know first-hand how stressful this time is for many families, especially those who may be supporting education or lifestyle needs for their offspring and are now juggling unanticipated healthcare needs for their parents in addition.
We’ve been there ourselves and we’ve heard it all. We understand difficult family dynamics that are often embarrassing to discuss. We are experienced mediators and have great success helping family members understand the realities of the aging process through “different eyes.” Our intake sessions often provide new insights, new hope and welcome reassurance during a time of increasing confusion and conflict for all involved.
We also know how hard it is to make choices when the money is simply not easily accessed. While Anam Memory Care Homes operate on a private-pay basis and are not Medicare or Medicaid eligible, we are often able to help families identify resources they might not have considered previously, to provide the most optimum care for their loved one.
It’s the place where everyone wants to be. Home. Where our professionally trained nurses and healthcare aides treat very resident like a beloved family member. With total comfort and concern. Just like home. Where the feelings of warmth, security, safety and companionship make your loved one feel they are truly home. Good food. Good friends. Good feelings. We invite you to come home to Anam.
Anam Memory Care Homes provide peaceful and safe residential living that supports people with dementias such as Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body and Parkinson’s dementia. We understand, recognize and effectively provide support for the physical and emotional issues steaming from such memory loss.
We take pride in providing:
- Life enrichment — we begin with a complete history and assessment and work with you to understand your loved one’s life story, using these insights to develop individualized care plans for each resident.
- Partnerships in health and wellness — we work with physicians, home health agencies and other specialists to insure appropriate and compassionate medical care.
- Comfort through aging in place — your loved one never has to deal with the emotional turmoil of moving from one care setting to another. Additional services are suggested and merely added as needed.
Whether you might be interested in a long-term stay or short-term visit for your loved one, they will receive the same level of attention and care by our highly trained staff. If you would prefer to “test drive” Anam, providing some precious time to rest up or take care of life needs, Anam offers short-term stays for overnight, a weekend, a week or a month. While you receive a well-deserved respite, your loved one will enjoy exceptional care and service in our secure and safe homelike atmosphere.
If someone you love has dementia or other memory issues, Anam Adult Day Care Center can provide a much-needed break for you, while fostering independence, well-being, and self-esteem for your loved one with dementia. The day-care program provides a structured and stimulating environment and helps prevent early or unneeded placement of your loved one in an assisted living facility or nursing home.
