Memory Support: Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care in Bryan, TX

What to do?

memory support: A good answer

WE ARE HERE TO HELP.

As a family caregiver, we know how much you personally give to support your loved one’s well-being, many times at the sacrifice of your own. That’s where we come in. We can join the equation as care partners to help your loved one be as successful as they can be, despite their limitations. Sometimes that means counting the big successes along with the small, day-to-day victories that can mean so much. We also promise to be with you for the days that don’t go so well, because there will be tough days too.

We are careful to hire folks who are overloaded with empathy, have patience galore, and are gifted to tune-in to the needs of others, even if those needs go unspoken. We also offer specialized training to these gifted team members that allows them to better understand Alzheimer’s or other forms of age-related dementia and how they can support them through this process while prioritizing the elder’s need for wholeness. This is accomplished by understanding The Eden Alternative’s seven domains of wellbeing: autonomy, identity, growth, security, connectedness, meaning, and joy. It is these basic needs that help individuals maintain a sense of wholeness, despite cognitive or physical limitations. 

At Crestview, we’ve served thousands of seniors in a Christian environment since opening our doors in 1970 — which simply means that we’ve walked alongside many families on their journey with memory loss. This road is a familiar one for us, but it may be new terrain for you. That’s why we invite you to partner with Crestview for your loved one’s wellbeing, and ultimately, for your own.
