Being the primary caregiver for your spouse can give you a sense of pride and love. Yet, there may come a time where the amount of care needed is much more than you’re able to give, especially if your spouse is in need of memory support or Alzheimer’s and dementia care. In situations like these, it may be time to consider additional help for your loved one and yourself.
Peabody Retirement Community is a great senior living option for when your loved one needs more care than you can provide. The decision to leave caregiving to the professionals may be a difficult one, but as you’ll see, there are many benefits to getting assistance with caregiving, including a return to your role as a spouse.
We offer couples the opportunity to stay together, even if you have differing care needs. You can both get the level of support you need and the independence you desire, while enjoying a worry-free, low maintenance lifestyle. If you would like to stay together while your spouse receives memory care, there are several options that can fit your lifestyle and relationship.
At The Frank and Laura Smock Memory Enhancement Center, we offer specialized and attentive memory care for your loved one with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other memory disorders. In our newly remodeled memory care neighborhood at Evergreen Park, you’ll find a homelike design that surrounds residents with familiar settings to help them feel more comfortable and at ease. Structured activities and programming contribute to a sense of more freedom and help to maintain and enhance their memories. Our specially-trained staff is skilled at interacting and engaging with seniors with memory loss, and offers personal assistance with activities of daily living, therapies, medication management and more.
Residents enjoy a variety of life-enhancing features and services, including:
