Alzheimer’s Care Services in Athens GA
Have Memory Care is a private pay memory care community. We recognize that each individual living with Alzheimer’s disease has unique needs, abilities, and preferences. Our specialized Alzheimer’s care program is built upon this understanding, offering personalized, compassionate, and comprehensive care for our residents.
At Haven Memory Care we recognize Alzheimer’s as the most common form of dementia. However, in many instances Alzheimer’s is combined with other forms of dementia. As a diagnosis of a specific type of dementia is not always included with admission, knowing if someone is suffering from Alzheimer’s does have its benefits. For example, with Alzheimer’s we know what step or progression is next. This is unique with Alzheimer’s. We don’t know how long an individual may be in that step/stage but we know what is next. We can also gage the cognitive age of a person with this disease. We have included this scale on this page. It is very eye opening and we use if for a variety of reasons such as activities and pairing with like level residents. Alzheimer’s is a complicated disease involving the brain’s “electrical system” and how it becomes polluted with protein tangles that for the most part short circuit the activity in the brain. Current treatments are focusing on these tangles and preventing the build up of these tangles thus stopping the progression of the disease. We have some very promising results with these medications from the past 18 months. For the most part they are all still in clinical trials but we hope to have something soon that may stop the growth of this terrible disease.

Our team is also trained to recognize and respond to changes in the physical and cognitive health of our residents, allowing for the adaptation of fluid care plans as the disease progresses.

The list of medical needs is quite extensive so feel free to contact us to determine if specific needs can be met in our community.
