Assisted Living Specializing in Memory Care

Emeritus at Woodland Place is a newly constructed community which has been purposely designed and built for seniors who live with memory loss. Our community carries dual licenses by the State of New York Department of Health which allows us to offer even more extensive care for our residents. As we open our doors, we invite you to visit us anytime!

Why choose an “Assisted Living Specializing in Memory Care” community?

At Emeritus at Woodland Place, we offer a unique type of community living for those who live with memory loss – it’s called “Assisted Living Specializing in Memory Care.”

Each person experiences the symptoms and progression of memory loss differently. And, there are several “stages” of memory loss that need to be taken into special consideration when exploring senior living options. The earlier these stages are identified and addressed, the better.

Why is Emeritus at Woodland Place a better alternative to a typical assisted living environment?

• A resident living with memory loss may be “lost” or “confused” in an environment that doesn’t recognize, or cannot address, the challenges of memory loss.
• A resident who experiences memory loss may be ostracized or ignored by others because of an inability to keep up with conversation or remember fellow residents.
• Assisted Living activities and programming aren’t necessarily designed for residents who live with memory loss. Too much stimulation can be stressful and confusing. The inability to participate will cause withdrawal.
• The resident who has memory loss may need reminders for activities of daily living (eating, bathing, toileting, etc.) that allow them to live their life in a dignified manner.
• As the memory loss progresses and care needs change, the right community will eliminate the need to move to a different facility. One move lessens the trauma for everyone.

And along with this programming expertise, we have a patient, compassionate care staff. These caregivers undergo specialized memory care training. They recognize these stages of memory loss, and can help families deal with the frustrations that memory loss may bring. We also have a highly experienced Memory Care Director who designs and oversees our programming.
