We’re asked to wear a lot of hats in life like loving husband, model employee, and supportive parent, but one of the most challenging roles to fill is caregiver. Caregivers are often forced to walk fine lines, lines like being available to keep an eye on their dad in case he takes another fall, but giving him the privacy that he wants in his own home. Showing compassion and respect to their mother with memory loss, but making sure she’s eating, even if she doesn’t want to.
It’s no surprise that a lot of caregivers are riddled with senses of worry, uncertainty, and guilt. The good news is: it can get better. The caregivers and nurses in our communities have a passion for helping seniors and their families transition through aging and have experience walking the fine lines. They can be the watchdog, the friend and the confidant, but they can never take your place.
We pride ourselves on offering multiple levels of care so our residents can age in place, here, at home, in Symphony at Oaklawn.
Personal care gives residents the best of both worlds, offering independence with personal care as well as support services, which are available if they need them. Residents at our personal care community have a variety of choices based on their individual needs; everything from complete independence to 24-hour-a-day care.
Our In the Moment® program is thoughtfully designed as a team-approach to memory care delivery. We describe what we offer as Memory Support because we’re intentionally shifting away from outdated Dementia care practices and into a hospitality model.
We recognize that each person we are privileged to serve is both unique in their life history, as well as their Dementia journey. We understand the importance of a scheduled rhythm to each day. However, we also encourage our team members to slow down and embrace the impromptu moments that happen as well. We find it’s the spontaneous moments have high impact for both the care giver and the care receiver. Living In The Moment is the greatest gift we can give to anyone we serve during their journey.
Are you a caregiver that is looking for extra support for a loved one? Do you need additional help after being discharged from the hospital? Are you considering the idea of moving to a senior living community, but you want to test the waters? If you answered yes to any of these questions, a short-term or respite care stay is the choice for you. At Symphony at Oaklawn, our short-term and respite care guests will receive all the comforts and amenities of our community while enjoying a relaxing, stress-free environment.
In our Personal Care and Memory Support community, we work to identify and nurture the strengths of all residents, so they can experience the greatest quality of life while maintaining the highest degree of independence possible.
