Maintaining identity and a strong sense of self comes from living a life filled with meaning, purpose and contributions. At Brookdale Nacogdoches, we believe having dementia shouldn t change that. For those with Alzheimer s disease or other types of dementia, our community, located in historic and dynamic San Antonio, Texas, offers a safe environment and exceptional memory care.
We gently steer residents through their day with visual reminders and other familiar routines that meet their skill level, enabling them to experience daily moments of success. And you get the peace of mind knowing that our staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
When you visit Brookdale Nacogdoches, you ll see our residents engaged in such sports as indoor soccer or bean bag toss, socializing at parties and other get-togethers, dancing, reminiscing about the old days, playing trivia games and enjoying music. Maybe you ll find them singing karaoke, playing cards, getting coffee with a friend or attending movie nights. Each of these activities is part of a carefully designed care program to help our residents live their best life.
Because we specialize in memory care, our cozy, comfortable single-level community incorporates special features such as way-finding cues and spaces decorated like home. Your loved one can relax by the fire in the family room, enjoy a good book in the library or enjoy the scenery in our fully enclosed sunroom. With monitored entries and exits and an enclosed flower-filled courtyard and garden, your loved one will remain safe while having a sense of freedom and independence.
With multiple floor plans in studio and one-bedroom models, you can choose the one that best fits your loved one s needs. They can be either private or a friendship suite, where two residents, who either don t want to live alone or wish to save on rent, can share accommodations. Spacious apartments include a 24-hour emergency response system, private baths and large windows to allow in plenty of natural light. You are encouraged to fill the apartment with familiar furniture, family photos and cherished possessions so it truly feels like your loved one s home sweet home.
Our memory care program is deeply rooted in a person-centered approach focused on creating feelings of belonging and purpose for your loved one, while seeking to preserve their identity and sense of self. More simply, we meet them where they are. With gentle guidance and visual reminders, we help them flourish in activities such as gardening, kitchen work and other projects that provide the opportunity to use meaningful life skills and talents even with advanced expressions of the disease.
Three home-style meals and three delicious snacks are served daily in our dining area. To help alleviate any confusion or added stress, we keep mealtimes very routine for our memory care community. All residents sit together at the same time and same table each day and place settings are designed to enhance and provide ease for each person. Everything is done for a reason but most especially to give residents a sense of freedom and independence, all within a safe environment.
Our Clare Bridge Daily Path approach to Alzheimer s and dementia care offers a gentle structure of six programs per day, tailored to maintain your loved one s abilities and encourage the use of their current skills, even with advanced expressions of the disease. These include morning workouts with brain games and discussions, along with fitness activities such as dancing, walking and our B-Fit program. A daily music program, pet therapy, music therapy, games and singing are among other Daily Path activities that provide our residents with an important sense of purpose, meaning and belonging.
