Types of Dementia Care
in Wisconsin
Alzheimer’s Care
in Wisconsin
Alzheimer’s Dementia affects thinking, memory, and behavior. It’s important to have an individualized care plan specific to each resident, accomplished through MapHabit. Compassionate caregivers are essential to help you or your loved one complete daily tasks and live life to the fullest! Check out our expert medical treatment, cutting edge tools, and interactive memory therapies today!
Vascular Dementia Care
in Wisconsin
Vascular Dementia is a decline in thinking skills caused by blocked or reduced blood flow to the brain, depriving it of oxygen and nutrients, and these conditions are typically caused suddenly by something like a stroke. This type of dementia can mirror Alzheimer’s through memory loss, or symptoms can vary through headaches, difficulty walking, poor balance, and more. No case of vascular dementia is the same; which is why tailoring a specialized memory care plan to each and every person is so important!
Lewy Body Dementia Care
in Wisconsin
One of the most common causes of dementia, Lewy Body Dementia is associated with abnormal deposits of protein in the brain, affecting its chemicals, which in turn leads to problems with thinking, movement, behavior, and mood. Although visual hallucinations, unpredictable changes in concentration and alertness, and sleep disorders are telltale signs of LBD, symptoms can wildly vary and often go misdiagnosed. Because LBD is a progressive disorder, it’s imperative that you or your loved one is surrounded by professionals who are able to identify signs and symptoms, so that care plans can be adjusted as needed.
Frontotemporal Dementia Care
in Wisconsin
Frontotemporal Dementia is actually a group of disorders that occur when the nerve cells of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain are lost and cause the lobes to shrink. Not only can FTD affect movement, language, and behavior, but it can affect personality as well. FTD is progressive, and common symptoms can include dramatic personality or behavior changes, socially inappropriate behaviors, impaired judgement, decreased self awareness, loss of motivation, easy agitation, and more. Some of these symptoms can be hard to spot, so it’s important to have an experienced team of experts around to identify them!
Animal Assisted Therapy
Through our unique Heritage Hounds program, our Wisconsin Memory Care residents can participate in making and packaging dog biscuits. Making these biscuits allows our residents to engage with each other, while also fostering a sense of pride and accomplishment. The program creates an atmosphere of ability and a feeling of confidence in our residents.
Monthly Activities Calendar
One much-loved aspect of our Dementia Care program is the Wisconsin Heritage Monthly Calendar, which provides themed months during which our memory care residents can participate in different Wisconsin-focused activities. Each week, Heritage offers new activities for both residents and their loved ones to enjoy. Engaging in these activities not only allows our residents to experience a sense of togetherness, but allows them the chance to learn, thrive and grow.
Honoring Life Stories
When a new resident joins one of Heritage’s Memory Care communities, a life enrichment specialist interviews family members to create the resident’s “life story,” which includes memories and preferences about the resident. These key life details – including likes, dislikes, past interests and names of important people and family members – are then woven into the resident’s individualized care plan.
Intergenerational Programming
Heritage is dedicated to providing opportunities for our memory care residents to interact with the next generation. Whether it’s an intergenerational play group with area moms and tots or a craft project with local students, Heritage’s Wisconsin Memory Care communities regularly welcome kids into the community to interact and enjoy time with our residents.
State-of-the-Art Memory Games
Heritage’s Memory Care communities are committed to providing the most state-of-the-art programming for our residents, and incorporating iPad-based brain training games is an exciting part of this. These app-based games can actually help slow the onset and progression of dementia, while also allowing us a way to measure residents’ day-to-day functioning. Our brain fitness app, which can be played one-on-one with residents and caregivers or as a larger group on a big screen, offers an array of topics and games so everyone can find something they love.
