The demands of our relatives become different as their age increases. For people who experience memory difficulties, the construction of a safe environment and supportive structure is the most important thing to do. Here at Serenity of Commerce, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere conducive to care is of utmost significance.
Safety First:
- Clear and organized layout: When a setting is more constant, people are less worried and less tense since there is less uncertainty. If you utilize pathways, make certain they are not to cluttered and are easy to walk.
- Controlled doors and windows: Prevent needless wandering, but allow easy access to personnel who require it.
- Non-slip flooring and proper lighting: People will not have foot falls if there is enough light in the well-kept floors and throughout the buildings.
- Adjustable furniture and equipment: Make sure that most of the fixtures are sturdy and easy to navigate through such as grab bars in the bathroom and other high-risk areas.
Supportive Atmosphere:
- Interesting activities: Regularly engage in exercises that enhance cognitive functioning, encourage physical exertion and promote interaction with other people.
- Sensory stimulation: Make use of soft music and scents or nature to help form calming environments and spaces.
- Respectful communication: Have and combine a good exercise of patience along with clear and assertive speech while being positive and polite during communication times.
- Personalized care: It is essential to focus on developing care plans based on the preferences and choices of the individual residents while promoting their independence.
Fostering a Sense of Belonging:
- Facilitate choice of familiar objects: Make it a point to allow residents to add personalized items, familiar pictures and souvenirs in their rooms.
- Structured activities: Carry out daily activities aimed at achieving some goals.
- Social engagement: Enable the residents to mingle with each other, staff members and volunteers to develop a sense of belonging.
- Encouragement of choice: Allow residents to make choices that are appropriate for their age such as planning their meals or choosing an activity to do from a range of options.
