Personalized Evaluation and Care Plans

Our specialized staff evaluates each dementia patient and creates a plan of care that best suits that individual, incorporating therapies like reminiscence activities and sensory stimulation to enhance quality of life.
Understanding Dementia Symptoms
Dementia is not a single disorder, but rather a combination of age-related symptoms involving a loss of mental skills and deteriorating brain function. Patients with dementia gradually lose memory, communication skills, the ability to reason, and the facility to complete the tasks of everyday living, which is why we emphasize early intervention and family involvement in our Long Beach skilled nursing programs.
Benefits of Social Interaction
Having social interaction proves to slow the progression of dementia, and therefore we encourage socialization through group activities and appropriate therapies. In our ocean-view facility, residents participate in tailored programs like music therapy and time in our court yard when weather permits, to foster connections and reduce isolation.
