Types of Memory Care at Sage Living
Mild Cognitive Impairment Care
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) care is designed for individuals in the early stages of memory loss who can still perform most daily activities independently. Our MCI care services include cognitive exercises, social engagement, and mild physical activity programs aimed at slowing the progression of memory loss while promoting overall well-being. Residents in this stage benefit from a structured environment that still allows for a degree of independence.
Alzheimer's & Dementia Care
For residents diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, we offer care plans that address both physical and cognitive needs. This type of care includes 24-hour supervision, assistance with daily living activities, and programs to improve memory function.
Intensive Memory Care
Individuals in the advanced stages of memory impairment require a higher level of care and support. Our intensive memory care focuses on creating a safe and nurturing environment while addressing complex medical and behavioral needs. This includes managing symptoms, providing continuous monitoring, and employing calming strategies to reduce agitation and confusion.
Respite Memory Care
Understanding that caregiving can be a demanding role, we offer respite memory care to provide temporary relief for family caregivers. This short-term care option allows caregivers to take a much-needed break, knowing their loved one is in a secure and supportive environment. Our respite care services include all the benefits of our memory care programs, allowing for continuity of care and comfort for the resident.
Signs Your Loved One Could Benefit from Memory Care
It can be difficult to recognize when a loved one requires more specialized care if you are not already familiar with the telltale signs.
Some indicators that your loved one might need memory care include:
- Frequent memory lapses: If you notice that your loved one is consistently forgetting important dates, names, or events, it might be time to consider memory care. This includes repeating questions or stories multiple times within a short period of time.
- Increased confusion: Struggling with time, place, and familiar tasks can be a sign of advancing memory impairment. This could manifest as getting lost while walking or driving in previously well-known areas.
- Difficulty with daily activities: Paying bills, cooking, personal hygiene, and managing medications become increasingly challenging as memory issues progress. If your loved one is neglecting these daily tasks, they may need the support provided by a memory care facility.
- Changes in behavior and mood: Rapid mood swings, increased agitation, withdrawal from social activities, and noticeable changes in personality can signal the progression of memory-related conditions. They might become suspicious, fearful, or easily upset.
- Poor judgment and decision-making: Making poor financial decisions, dressing inappropriately for the weather, or neglecting personal safety are signs that greater supervision and structured care are needed.
- Physical health decline: Noticeable weight loss, changes in sleep patterns, and a disregard for personal hygiene can be associated with memory issues. These physical symptoms often stem from a cognitive decline that impacts one's ability to care for themselves.
- Safety concerns: If your loved one has begun to wander, is prone to falls, or has started neglecting the use of medical devices, their safety could be at risk. Memory care facilities are equipped to foster a safe and secure environment, reducing such risks significantly.
If these signs resonate with the experiences you're witnessing, it may be time to explore memory care options at Sage Living.

Wildflower Way Neighborhood
Wildflower Way is best fit for people living with dementia who may be more mobile and need a safe space to be authentically themselves. We know that no two dementias are alike – so if wandering is part of their journey, perhaps their unmet need is going for a walk with our dog, if they like to fiddle with items in their hands, perhaps arranging flowers or cooking experiences with our mobile kitchen will fill that desire. To us, a person with memory loss is still a person. A person who has lived a long and full life. A person who has accomplished many things in his or her lifetime. A person who has lived the ups and downs of life just like we have. Respecting who they were and loving them for who they are now AND who they are becoming in a loving and safe neighborhood.
