Custom Memory Care Services
Terra Vista of Oakbrook Terrace understands that the needs of each resident vary. To properly meet their demands and customize their care and services, we ask the resident’s family to fill out the “Life Story Questionnaire.” This questionnaire is designed to help our staff become familiar with your loved one’s habits, history, hobbies, personality, and interests. The “Life Story Questionnaire” helps give our staff details about who the resident is as a whole person. The staff at our memory care assisted living facility use this information to create meaningful and joyful moments with your loved one. Additionally, there are survey opportunities for families to send feedback on our services, quality of care, and more.
How Our Staff Alleviates Agitation & Anxiety With Residents
If a resident with dementia has anxiety or agitation, they may more easily become confused or disoriented. These situations are delicate, and our well-trained staff handles them accordingly. Keeping your loved one comfortable and stress-free means they can live a happier life.
Develop a Calm Environment
Part of handling anxiety or agitation is developing an environment that promotes a sense of calm. We achieve this by removing stressors, moving the individual to a quiet or safe area, and comforting them with a security object. A security object is anything that brings comfort or calmness when held by a resident. Staff are also trained to utilize the resident’s life story and give answers that make sense to them or help calm them.
Eliminate Environmental Triggers
Anything from noise, glare, and background distractions such as television can sometimes activate a resident’s anxiety or agitate them. We are mindful of triggers and do our best to eliminate them by either reducing the noise or distraction or relocating the resident.
Take Steps to Enhance the Comfort of Residents
We understand that residents may have fears and frustrations that are not always easily communicated. To ensure your loved one is comfortable and safe, the staff at our memory care living facility performs routine checks for pain, discomfort, fatigue, hunger, thirst, infection, and skin irritations. We also monitor the temperature of your family member’s room to ensure a comfortable environment for living.
Simplifying Routines
Overly complicated tasks or routines can induce anxiety or agitation. That’s why our staff makes routines and activities as simple as possible for residents and are trained to break down tasks according to the resident’s ability.
