Unique approach to care offers daily joy<br />
No one is alone in caring<br />
for a loved one with<br />
Alzheimer’s, dementia<br />
or other types of memory<br />
loss. At Evergreen Senior<br />
Living in Orland Park, we<br />
offer The Legacy: Memory<br />
Support. Our team of<br />
trained caregivers offers<br />
personalized care and a<br />
unique approach to caring<br />
for seniors with memory<br />
loss.<br />
“My mother knew that<br />
there was something going<br />
on with her short term<br />
memory,” one resident’s<br />
daughter said. “It’s hard<br />
to be a 24-hour caregiver.<br />
They (Evergreen Senior<br />
Living team) have learned<br />
to work with my mom and<br />
how to take care of her.<br />
My relationship with her is<br />
fabulous now.”<br />
At Evergreen Senior<br />
Living, Legacy Living<br />
means making sure a loved<br />
one is cared for in the best<br />
way possible based on<br />
their needs. When people<br />
choose Legacy Living, the<br />
promise to care for a loved<br />
one is fulfilled.<br />
Evergreen Senior Living<br />
Wellness Coordinator Pauline<br />
McGrath echoes these<br />
sentiments.<br />
“We have a great team<br />
of caregivers, of nurses,<br />
of staff that really love our<br />
residents,” she said.<br />
At Evergreen Senior<br />
Living The Legacy: Memory<br />
Support, we let each<br />
day gently unfold, taking<br />
into account each seniors’<br />
preferences and comfort<br />
levels. Our person-centered<br />
programming promotes<br />
socialization during<br />
a time that can feel incredibly<br />
isolating. The Legacy:<br />
Memory Support staff,<br />
who come in each day refreshed<br />
and revitalized,<br />
take care of the day-today<br />
tasks so people can go<br />
back to their favorite role<br />
in their loved one’s life:<br />
family.<br />
This unique approach<br />
works in tandem with our<br />
unique campus, which has<br />
been created to strategically<br />
cater to our residents<br />
with memory loss. Every<br />
detail at The Legacy:<br />
Memory Care has been<br />
designed with people’s<br />
loved ones in mind. Walking<br />
paths are designed in a<br />
continuous figure eight, so<br />
residents can always find<br />
their way to their destination.<br />
Customized memory<br />
boxes hang outside of<br />
apartments to help residents<br />
know they are home.<br />
Bathrooms are set at an<br />
angle in the apartments so<br />
that residents have a clear<br />
idea of how to enter and<br />
exit. Kitchen and dining<br />
areas are built for smaller<br />
groups to ensure less noise<br />
and interruptions and more<br />
individualized attention.<br />
