Frequently Asked Questions

Memory Care at Wesley Manor, known as The Journey, is a specialized neighborhood designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other forms of memory loss. Residents receive personalized care, engaging daily programming, and 24-hour support in a secure, compassionate environment that promotes dignity, comfort, and the highest possible quality of life.

The Journey takes a person-centered approach to dementia care by focusing on each resident’s unique life story, interests, routines, and abilities. Through consistent caregivers, Montessori-inspired programming, meaningful daily engagement, and individualized care plans, we help residents maintain their abilities while providing the support they need as dementia progresses.

At The Journey, we believe every resident deserves opportunities to make choices, participate in meaningful activities, and maintain as much independence as possible. Our caregivers provide the right amount of support while encouraging residents to remain engaged in daily routines and activities that reflect their interests and abilities.

Memory Care may be the right choice when memory loss begins affecting a person’s safety, independence, or daily routine. Common signs include wandering, medication concerns, increasing confusion, changes in behavior, difficulty preparing meals, getting lost in familiar places, or growing caregiver stress.

Many families wait until a crisis occurs before exploring Memory Care, but moving sooner often allows residents to adjust more comfortably while benefiting from structured routines, specialized programming, and consistent support.

While Assisted Living provides support with daily activities, Memory Care is specifically designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Residents benefit from dementia-trained caregivers, a secure environment, structured daily routines, and therapeutic programming that supports cognitive, emotional, and physical well-being.

Our team can help determine which level of care best meets your loved one’s current needs.

The Journey cares for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, mixed dementia, and other forms of cognitive impairment. Because every person’s journey is different, care is individualized based on each resident’s diagnosis, abilities, preferences, and stage of dementia.

The Journey provides a secure, thoughtfully designed environment that allows residents to move about safely while reducing the risks associated with wandering or disorientation. Every aspect of the neighborhood is designed to create a comforting, familiar atmosphere that encourages independence while giving families added peace of mind.

Every resident receives an individualized care plan developed in partnership with family members, physicians, and our interdisciplinary care team. We take time to learn about each person’s background, career, hobbies, preferences, daily routines, and healthcare needs so care feels familiar, meaningful, and personalized.

Care plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted as needs change.

Residents participate in daily activities designed to support cognitive function, emotional well-being, physical health, and social connection. Programs may include music, gardening, sensory experiences, art, reminiscence therapy, exercise, games, baking, and other meaningful activities that encourage purpose and joy.

Activities are adapted to each resident’s abilities so everyone has opportunities to participate successfully.

Montessori-based dementia programming focuses on each person’s remaining strengths rather than their limitations. Instead of completing tasks for residents, caregivers create opportunities for meaningful engagement that encourage independence, confidence, and a sense of purpose.

This approach helps reduce frustration while supporting cognitive abilities through familiar routines and activities.

Our Memory Care caregivers receive specialized dementia education focused on Alzheimer’s disease, communication techniques, behavior management, person-centered care, and supporting individuals throughout every stage of dementia. Ongoing education helps our team continue providing compassionate, evidence-based care as best practices evolve.

Behavior is often a form of communication for someone living with dementia. Rather than reacting to behaviors, our caregivers work to understand the underlying cause and respond with patience, compassion, redirection, validation, and personalized routines that help reduce anxiety and create a calming environment.

Families are an important part of every resident’s care team. We encourage regular communication, family involvement, education, and ongoing support throughout the dementia journey. Our team is always available to answer questions, discuss changes, and help families navigate the challenges that often accompany memory loss.

Our team works closely with hospitals, physicians, rehabilitation providers, social workers, and families to coordinate a smooth transition into Memory Care. We review medications, develop an individualized care plan, and help residents adjust comfortably to their new surroundings.

Residents benefit from 24-hour nursing support, medication management, personalized care planning, and access to physical, occupational, and speech therapy as appropriate. Our interdisciplinary team continually evaluates each resident’s needs to help ensure they receive the right care while maintaining the highest possible quality of life.

Dementia is a progressive condition, and The Journey is designed to support residents throughout each stage of the disease. As needs change, our team adjusts care plans, daily routines, and clinical support to ensure residents continue receiving compassionate, personalized care in a familiar environment.
