New Year, New Opportunities

It is the New Year, and there are so many new opportunities for your loved one! A fresh year is a perfect time to start and/or try something new! Here are a few ideas you may not have tried yet, that will definitely be worth the time and effort!

•  Encourage your loved one to participate in activities. Our community offers so many different activities, to cater to all sorts of interests our residents may have. Whether it be sports, knitting, reading, etc., encourage your loved one to get involved! The activities we offer are a great opportunity to get our resident's brains stimulated!

• Help your loved one make friends. The transition into a memory care community can be scary, so make sure to encourage your loved one to interact and create relationships. Finding another resident who likes the same shows as your loved one, is a great opportunity to start a new conversation or even a friendship!

• Make the extra time to go visit. It is so important for the caregiver to continue to show up for their loved one. Residents need a recurring familiar face and voice. This is another opportunity to create stronger bonds and memories with your loved one.

• Become more involved in your loved one’s memory care community. There are so many ways to become involved with our community! Coming to events or even volunteering shows your loved one your support, and that you will continue to encourage them!

There are so many different opportunities for you and your loved one in our community, and it is the perfect time to try something new! Give us a call at Westminster Memory Care at (803-356-7507), for more ideas and opportunities!
