Memory Care Daily Rhythm & Routine 

Daily rhythms and routines are important to all of us. Beyond the comfort of our personal rituals, creating consistent, active daily routines supports the circadian rhythm. This improves our residents’ moods, sleep habits, health, and energy levels while minimizing the risk of sundowner’s syndrome.

Our functions put the emphasis on “fun.” This light-hearted spirit is reflected in all the activities offered through our daily program of memory care and dementia care in Alpharetta, GA. 

The Morning Hours

Mornings begin with a cheerful wake-up. Our Morning Welcome Crew opens the curtains and blinds with a cup of coffee in hand (decaf if a resident’s diet demands). The crew announces and displays colorful schedules of the day’s offerings – noting residents’ top interests. Residents finish breakfast, then we guide or accompany them as needed to their activities of choice.

Morning memory care activities may include:

• Accompanied walks around our beautifully landscaped grounds
• Live entertainment, music, or pet visits
• Aerobics, yoga, and other movement classes
• Meditation and mindfulness classes/groups
• Bowling, golf, or balloon volleyball in The Town Center
• Bingo or trivia games
• Gospel music or various devotional services located in our non-denominational chapel

Afternoon Activities

Residents refuel with a nice lunch then it’s time for afternoon activities or rest time, depending on their needs. After lunch, you’ll likely find your loved one at the daily Ice Cream Social in the Town Center, which continues to be everyone’s favorite part of the day.

Afternoon memory care activities may include:

• Creative classes, including writing, drawing, painting, ceramics, handicrafts, etc.
• Gardening in our herb and garden beds
• Taking walks
• Bird watching
• Sitting on a bench or patio chair, enjoying the natural landscape
• Special offerings that vary from day-to-day

The Evening Wind Down

For many, the evening wind-down begins by freshening up and heading to the Town Center Tavern. The Tavern staff serves non-alcoholic beverages along with light snacks. Residents then enjoy dinner.

After dinner, our social coordinator hosts games, music and sing-a-longs, and other social activities that are often focused on a particular period or era. These themes form part of valuable reminiscence therapy. If a resident isn’t interested in social activities offered in their neighborhood that evening, they can head to our Theater for a musical, comedy or classic movie.

• Music
• Poetry & games

Memory and Dementia Care Meal Plans

Our meals are similarly research-based. Studies show that processed food increases the risk of dementia. Meanwhile, cutting back on processed foods and refined sugars brings many benefits. Dietary changes can slow cognitive decline, enhance neural function, and increase longevity in people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

Our meals and snacks:

• Mostly follow an anti-inflammatory, Mediterranean Diet
• Focus on nutrient-dense, whole foods, including lots of fresh fruits and veggies, and lean proteins 
• Have a minimum amount of refined sugars and processed foods
