Aging is a continuous journey full of peaks and valleys. As our stories unfold, the level of healthcare and assistance we need can fluctuate – from barely any assistance necessary at all, to needing help with the basic activities of daily living, and sometimes back again. The Jefferson Bridge at Monticello West serves to connect residents with the right level of memory care at the right time.
At Monticello West, we understand the challenging emotions and preconceptions that come with transitioning a loved one to a structured memory care program. In part, this is what the Jefferson Bridge was designed to change. Participants are free to cross back and forth between our independent living or assisted living communities to take part in memory care programming as often as they want.
For example, if one of our assisted living residents could benefit from a structured memory care activity, the Jefferson Bridge makes it easy for that individual to participate and then return back to his or her original care setting. This freedom is also helpful for family members because it offers their loved ones a more gradual transition to round-the-clock memory care.
Not only does the Jefferson Bridge assist with the transition to our memory care program, it’s a great option for couples who now find themselves with differing memory care needs. In this situation, the Jefferson Bridge makes it possible for a spouse to receive the appropriate level of memory care support and then reunite at the couple’s primary care setting.
We know joining a memory care community is a difficult decision for many couples, and that’s exactly what the Jefferson Bridge was designed to help with. Couples who participate in this program can experience the best of both worlds for as long as they’d like.
Residents who choose to take advantage of our transitional memory care program benefit from a wide range of evidence-based therapies designed to stimulate the senses and promote a more active lifestyle. The Jefferson Bridge, along with the rest of our memory care program at Monticello West, is all about connecting with individuals on a personal level, understanding what drives them and offering individualized care and support – for seniors as well as their loved ones.
The Jefferson Bridge is ideal for Monticello West residents who could benefit from memory care support services and who are still able to perform many of the activities of daily living. The bridge is also a perfect fit for senior couples with varying degrees of memory and healthcare needs.
