Memory Care & Dementia Support Program - Secured Unit

Memory Care Services

Chelsea Place Care Center provides specialized memory care services within a skilled nursing and long term care environment for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, memory loss, and other cognitive impairments.

Our Memory Care Program is designed to provide a safe, structured, and supportive environment that promotes dignity, comfort, engagement, and quality of life while addressing the unique challenges associated with cognitive decline and memory impairment.

Chelsea Place Care Center is not an assisted living memory care residence, but rather a skilled nursing care center capable of supporting residents with both cognitive and complex medical needs. Our interdisciplinary team works closely with residents, families, physicians, hospitals, and community providers to create individualized care plans focused on person-centered support and compassionate care. 

Specialized Dementia and Memory Support

Residents within our Memory Care Program benefit from individualized care and supervision provided by staff trained in dementia care, behavioral support, communication techniques, and person-centered interventions.

The program is designed to support individuals living with:

• Alzheimer’s disease

• Vascular dementia

• Lewy body dementia

• Frontotemporal dementia

• Cognitive impairment

• Memory loss associated with neurological conditions

• Behavioral symptoms associated with dementia

• Wandering and safety concerns

• Co-occurring medical and cognitive conditions

Our team understands that every resident experiences dementia differently. Care plans are individualized to support each resident’s preferences, routines, personality, communication style, and emotional well-being.

A Structured and Supportive Environment

Chelsea Place Care Center’s Memory Care Program includes a secure and structured environment designed to enhance safety while promoting independence and meaningful engagement whenever possible.

Upon admission, residents undergo a comprehensive assessment process that helps identify individual needs, routines, strengths, behavioral triggers, and personal interests. This information helps guide the development of individualized care plans and therapeutic programming. 

Program features may include:

• Secure memory support environment

• Dementia-trained staff

• Therapeutic recreation programming

• Behavioral support interventions

• Social services and family support

• Nursing supervision and clinical monitoring

Our approach emphasizes familiarity, consistency, comfort, and emotional support in order to help reduce anxiety, confusion, and distress while enhancing residents’ quality of life.

The Memory Care Program is supported by an interdisciplinary team that may include:

• Licensed nurses

Supporting Families Through the Dementia Journey

Memory loss and dementia affect not only residents, but also families and loved ones. Chelsea Place Care Center recognizes the importance of communication, education, and emotional support throughout the care journey.

Our team works collaboratively with families to provide updates, care planning participation, support resources, and guidance as resident needs evolve over time.

We are committed to treating every resident with dignity, compassion, patience, and respect while creating an environment that feels supportive and welcoming to both residents and their loved ones.

Skilled Nursing Support for Residents with Dementia

Unlike many traditional memory care settings, Chelsea Place Care Center is able to support residents who require both dementia care and skilled nursing services.

This may include residents with:

• Complex medical conditions

• Mobility limitations

• Behavioral challenges

• Medication management needs

• Chronic illness

Our integrated approach allows residents to receive comprehensive nursing and dementia support within one coordinated care environment.
