Life’s Journey Senior Living consists of four memory care communities located throughout Central Illinois. No two fingerprints are alike, and neither are the men and women who make up our community of neighbors. What sets Life’s Journey apart from other memory care communities is that we take a creative approach to dementia centered around your loved one’s needs and abilities. Safety and security are at the forefront of our minds as we develop a unique plan of care based on the principals of dignity, love, and compassion.
Life’s Journey Senior Living – Taylorville is a unique memory care community. We provide 24 hour nursing and assistance for your loved one with an emphasis on individualized care and attention for all levels of dementia. Our home is split into three unique houses providing a cozy environment which includes; private dining, spacious living rooms with fireplaces, studio apartments, outdoor activity areas including patios, aviary, indoor putting green and gardens.
When it comes to caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia, round-the-clock care is a must. A home-caretaker may not be able to provide the care your loved one needs at all hours of the day. Most homes are also not built to accommodate the special needs of those with memory loss. That’s why so many families turn to memory care communities, which can provide expert care in an environment that has safety features and supportive staff.
Our staff to neighbor ratio is what sets us apart from other communities, and when combined with our individualized approaches for all levels of care we feel Life’s Journey can offer comfort, acceptance, love and support for the individual and their family.
The main goal of memory care is to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s or dementia, not treat it. But in addition to that, we make it a point to enable the person dealing with this condition to feel a sense of purpose and enjoyment on a daily basis. This is accomplished through daily activities designed to engage residents mentally in an effort to reduce the effects of Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Our memory care community has an expertly trained staff and access to top-of-the-line resources designed to help accomplish our goal. Benefits our memory care program include:
- Personalized Care: Residents of our memory care community have access to specialized programs and activities that are conducted with a more hands on approach in order to keep residents engaged and stimulated.
- Socialization: Socializing can help ward off diseases that come with social isolation, including depression and anxiety. This is especially important for those with dementia, as they tend to be more vulnerable.
- Sense of Purpose: Seniors with dementia or Alzheimer’s can benefit from structured activities provided at our community.
We understand that in most cases, the decision to move a loved one to memory care is a family decision. It’s our duty to make it a smooth and beneficial transition so your loved one can get the care they need.
