Assisted living communities providing Alzheimer’s care are usually referred to as Special Care Units (SCUs). These assisted living facilities are often considered the best choice for those who are in the early to moderate stages of Alzheimer’s. SCUs are designed to suit the needs of Alzheimer’s patients, particularly by employing staff that is expressly trained to work with people with dementia.

Esperanza Senior Living provides residents in need of Alzheimer’s care with a safe, supervised, and comfortable environment that can handle those who may wander; a structured routine and activities that echo the habits the individual residents have established over a lifetime.

Esperanza’s Alzheimer’s care staff take the time to get to know each resident so that their specific needs can be catered to. Esperanza provides daily activities, such as making the bed or even baking cookies.

All of which are encouraged and practiced in order to give residents an opportunity to succeed at familiar tasks. Esperanza has introduced innovative programs to enrich thelives of our residents that truly nourish their body and soul.

Programs such as “Memories In the Making”, scrap booking, pet therapy and aromatherapy, which also provides nightly hand and shoulder massages.

At Esperanza, we are very proud of our new programs designed to bring joy, laughter and comfort to our residents. We enrich their lives by giving them extra special attention in ways that make a body feel good and are nourishing to the soul. Nightly aromatherapy along with massage are just a couple of the many ways we treat our residents to ensure their happiness and well being. On-site medical staff is always available to the residents of Esperanza, allowing everyone to relax and enjoy life, secure in the knowledge that help is there if needed.
