In order to best serve our community, we have as our mission the highest quality of life possible for our residents. In order to deliver the best results, we keep in mind the holistic health of our residents. This means that the physical body is not the only aspect of care that we give our attention to. Mental and emotional health is equally as important. Here are a few steps that we take to ensure our residents are happy and healthy.
Largo Alzheimers assisted living makes sure that the patient is comfortable and adjusts well to their new surroundings by encouraging family members to visit often, and by creating a home much like the home our resident may have left. Familiar objects, smells and foods are encouraged. Largo Alzheimers assisted living wants to make the transition as smooth and stress free as possible.
Largo Alzheimers assisted living encourages family members to bring the residents favorite candles or room spray to create a familiar atmosphere. Even perfumes sprayed lightly on linens can give a familiar scent to the residents surroundings. Walls should be painted similar colors, or neutral, soothing colors. Largo Alzheimers assisted living certainly encourages bringing family photos, travel photos, and artwork from the residents home.
If the resident is accustomed to having a garden, Largo Alzheimers assisted living recommends bringing indoor plants into the residents new home. Perhaps a little garden box or a collection of plants by a nice sunny window will brighten the room, while at the same time infusing the room with oxygen. Largo Alzheimers assisted living also has plenty of gardens and outdoors areas where the resident can sit and enjoy a sunny, peaceful day, or even go on a walk around the area.
Largo Alzheimers assisted living asks residents families what kind of favorite foods the patient enjoys. Offering a variety of nutritious favorites and comfort foods like lasagna or pot roast and potatoes will ensure that the resident feels more at home.
We make sure the residents have lots of activities to keep their minds active and to improve their mood. Simple stretching and exercise routines, art projects, listening to music and singing, folding towels and matching socks are just a few of the activities that are offered to keep the residents busy and looking forward to the days ahead of them.
