Memory Care

The memory care program at The Edgewood Centre is designed to enhance the quality of life and personal dignity of residents living with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.

Our Alzheimer’s Care Facility

The programs, environment, and nursing care at Edgewood are developed with attention to the individual needs and interests of the residents, providing a comforting structure while allowing opportunity for spontaneity and resident-influenced activity.

A Waterfront Home – In a Great Neighborhood

Environmental adaptations, both inside the building and on the grounds, encourage freedom of mobility and maximize the opportunity to enjoy fresh air and sunshine.

Residents can dine on waterfront porch and deck areas, stroll in a new handicapped accessible courtyard area, and enjoy activities in an atrium overlooking a pristine wildlife pond.

Children from Edgewood’s on-site child care center visit often-bringing healthy doses of smiles and laughter to the residents of our memory care program.

Care For The Mind, Body, and Spirit

A specialized team of recreational professionals creates programs that provide opportunities for the creativity, self-expression, and camaraderie that are part of a meaningful and joy-filled life.

The recreational programming at Edgewood is fully individualized and varies with the cognitive ability and social preferences of each resident. Some residents look forward to bus outings for scenic rides along the New Hampshire coast while others enjoy the chance to sing along with live musical entertainers and other residents prefer one on one interactions or soothing dance therapy programs.

Expertise and Compassion

Edgewood provides nursing staff trained in Alzheimer’s and dementia care who ensure that residents’ medical needs are met promptly and skillfully. Staff focuses on encouraging residents to retain their maximal level of independence while providing a safe, structured and home-like environment.

Family support from on-site social work staff and outside consultants provide resident families with help navigating the challenges that can come with caring for someone with dementia.

Honoring the Whole Person

The staff of Edgewood’s memory care program takes pride in a compassionate approach to dementia care. We know that people living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia live in the moment and while many losses can occur through the course of the disease, one’s personhood remains intact.

At The Edgewood Centre, it is our mission to nurture and celebrate the wholeness of our residents during each moment of their life.
