Specialized Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care now offered at Harbourway Memory Care Unit  at Atlantic Shores

 

Newly opened in February, 2008, Harbourway’s dedicated Memory Care Unit provides the  highest level of specialized care for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients in the Hampton Roads area. This premier 14-bed facility is attached to Seaside Health Center, a skilled nursing center at the Atlantic Shores senior community in Virginia Beach.

Custom-designed to provide for the medical, emotional and safety needs of its residents, Harbourway’s Memory Care Unit offers 24-hour monitoring of health and security, provided by attentive round-the-clock staff.

A person with Alzheimer’s becomes totally dependent on others for his or her care. Family members who take over care-giving responsibilities are often not trained to meet the daily challenges, and most realize they cannot do it on their own. For many, the best solution is to turn to a professional facility designed to meet the complex medical, psychological and physical needs of their loved ones.

The best treatment is comprehensive care, specifically designed for Alzheimer’s patients. Specialized Memory Care Units like Harbourway offer treatment programs for both physical and emotional needs - - creating a higher quality of life.

In addition to full attention to each resident’s medical care, Harbourway’s Memory Care Unit  provides physical therapy and sensory stimulation activities customized for each resident.

To stay on the cutting edge of support and treatment options, Harbourway also offers an Alzheimer’s Support Group and a social worker to provide families of residents with the latest research and medical updates.

Residents can also enjoy specially designed lounge and common areas, as well as a secured outdoor garden area.
