Citrus Heights, California Alzheimer's Care Services

Alzheimer's and Memory Care

Emeritus at Citrus Heights is an assisted living community specializing in memory care, for those with Alzheimer's, the different forms of Dementia, and other memory impairments. Our Life Enrichment Directors organize activities and programs for our residents that help to keep them socializing, moving their bodies to stay limber, keep them thinking, and introduce them to new sights, sounds, and experiences. Because Emeritus is a national brand, the company has access to a tremendous amount of resources and expertise that they share with all the communities to keep us on the cutting edge.

The Emeritus philosophy toward Alzheimer's and memory care is "Join Their Journey", our trademark approach to the disease that teaches us to join the journey of your loved one by recognizing individuality, encouraging choices, and allowing them to live their lives in a way that feels familiar to them. We use validation techniques as we interact with the resident. This way of relating focuses on understanding and accepting the resident's interpretation of his surroundings and his sense of self within the framework of his own unique history and preferences.

Our Life Enrichment Director organizes activities and programs for our residents that help to improve their daily living skills by promoting socialization, expanding their personal interests, increasing their physical activity, and continuing their education. Our lending library at the community has lots of books that family members can check out to help educate themselves on the disease, our company website is loaded with information and resources to help families navigate through this process with material at their fingertips, and our on-site caregiver support group meetings provide support to family members and friends in a safe and comfortable environment where topics are designed to meet the group's needs, to learn what to expect and how to best care for their loved one and themselves.
