Learn More About Our Customized Approach to Memory Care

Sage Park Assisted Living and Memory Care community in Gahanna, Ohio takes a personalized approach to memory care, with an individualized plan created to meet the needs of each resident. This community offers a variety of care options for its residents and uses techniques that are designed to help residents feel independent, safe, and engaged. They support the memory of each community member by engaging their brains through music therapy, aromatherapy, validation techniques, socialization, health & wellness activities, and life skills stations. This holistic approach to memory care is catered towards seniors who may be experiencing memory challenges of all types.

What Exactly Are These Techniques?

Music Therapy, a popular and effective approach to tending to the memories of aging residents, is done by playing period-appropriate music that will release dopamine in the brain, triggering happy feelings throughout the body and calming agitation. Although a seemingly simple concept, using music as memory therapy has been proven to improve memory function, as well as encourage social engagement.

Another way we support memory care residents is Sensory and VR Therapy. The use of virtual reality technology stimulates the resident’s senses, which can help calm nerves, reduce anxiety, improve mood, and increase social engagement. Residents use Oculus VR headsets, which allow them to take a walk on a sandy beach, revisit a memory from a past family vacation, listen to music from their past, visit wildlife in nature, and much more. These experiences create a virtual reality that can help resurface memories, stimulate the brain, and revisit locations or experiences that they loved in the past.

Our life skills stations promote healthy brain function and allow residents to remain capable and independent. At the life skills stations, they practice guided cooking or other daily skills that they would use on a daily basis in a totally independent setting. This method allows residents to feel the accomplishment of completing essential daily tasks, as well as stimulating their senses and memories while engaging in the normalcy of life skills in a safe environment.
