Memory Care in Port Washington

Our Port Washington Memory Care community is a warm and inviting environment for seniors who need specialized attention for their memory needs. Residents receive compassionate, individualized care 24 hours a day. Health and wellness programs, personalized nutritional dining programs, and medication monitoring are all handled by caregivers who work closely with registered nurses and residents’ physicians.

Residents are able to safely stroll throughout the uncomplicated building, allowing them to continue with their ongoing daily routine while they maintain dignity and well-being. Within the secured community, residents enjoy a high degree of freedom and independence while being closely monitored by the experienced Memory Care staff. Plus, an interior garden courtyard offers a serene area for residents to relax, allowing them the freedom to enjoy the outdoors in a secure setting.

Our caregivers promise to nurture the body, engage the mind, and make a difference in the lives of each resident. Each prospective memory care resident receives a thorough assessment upon admission, ensuring the individual needs of each resident are not only met, but exceeded.

A Measure in Time

Music has the power to tap into long-lost memories, evoke positive feels and provide a sense of comfort and calm to those that may be easily agitated. It can also encourage movement and a sense of fun. That’s why Lincoln Village has developed its own Music and Memory program, called A Measure in Time, to provide residents with personalized playlists made up of music that means something to them, be it classic ballads or rock ‘n’ roll. These playlists enable many residents to converse and socialize again and to regain a sense of self.

Alternative, Nonmedication Therapies

Lincoln Village’s life enrichment staff lead activities that can lessen the need for medications, such as pet therapy, art and aroma therapies, in addition to our Music in Time program.

Innovative Techniques

Lincoln Village Senior Living staff members utilize nationally known dementia methods to bond with and help our Memory Care residents. Our staff members receive regular training from leaders who are Best Friends™ certified, with consultation and support from Best Friends Approach co-founder David Troxel. They also utilize Teepa Snow techniques, which can help our caregivers connect with and comfort residents on a personal level.

Monthly Activities Calendar

One much-loved aspect of our Toddy’s Touch program is the Wisconsin Heritage Monthly Calendar, which provides themed months during which our residents can participate in different Wisconsin-focused activities. Each week, Lincoln Village 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  Lincoln Village’s Memory Care community, 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

Lincoln Village is dedicated to providing opportunities for our 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, Lincoln Village regularly welcomes kids into the community to interact and enjoy time with our residents.

State-of-the-Art Memory Games

Lincoln Village’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 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 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.

Heritage Hounds

Through our unique Heritage Hounds program, our 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.

Memory Cafés

Memory Cafés provide a safe and supportive place where people with memory loss and their caregivers can connect, learn and engage with others like them. Memory Cafés are an environment for learning, support and social engagement. It’s a place to talk with others who understand what you are going through, to forget about limitations and focus o strengths, to enjoy each other’s company and to explore something new.

This regular event may include structured activities – like music or art projects – or educational events like guest speakers, along with fresh snacks and refreshments. To learn more about our upcoming Memory Cafés, please call 844-658-4475.
