Professional Care

Understanding the complexities of dementia is essential to providing the best quality of care for our residents. Our team is trained through Rachel Wonderlin's Dementia By Day program, which emphasizes understanding various forms of dementia, effective communication techniques, and person-centered care approaches. Through ongoing education, our dedicated team members are equipped to foster a compassionate and nurturing environment at Remember Me.

An Active Lifestyle

Everyone benefits from an active lifestyle, which is why we integrate it into the daily routine of all residents. Our daily activities are personalized and individualized to the resident’s interests and cognitive abilities. And with a constantly evolving activities calendar, there’s plenty to keep residents engaged and entertained. We not only work to promote physical activity, but we also work with our residents to help exercise their minds.

Sensory-Friendly Environments

At RMSC, we create an atmosphere that feels like home because we understand that our community is home to the residents. Creating a comfortable and calm environment that isn’t overstimulating for our residents helps regulate behavior and promote an overall healthier aging. People with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias can easily be overwhelmed, confused and/or distracted when faced with large groups or spaces. This applies to activity participation, meal times, and even residential living arrangements. Residents often function better in quieter, smaller groups; therefore, we orchestrate our daily activities to promote this type of environment.

A Balanced Diet

Each farmhouse has a dedicated cook who prepares nutritious meals with fruits and veggies. We understand the importance of a well-balanced diet, which is why our meals are not only carefully prepared but also dietician-approved. This ensures that our residents receive the best, most healthful meals possible. At Remember Me, residents always have access to healthy food. The combination of physical activity, emotional and mental well-being, and a healthy diet forms a comprehensive approach for each resident, fitting seamlessly into our overall personalized care plan.

Personalized Care

At Remember Me, we believe personalized care is essential for healthy aging. Our approach starts with identifying what is most important to each individual and their family, then incorporating those priorities into a tailored plan of care. A "plan of care" is crafted by understanding the medical, psychological, and social histories of our residents to uncover their unique needs. This personalized attention begins with the transition to our assisted living or memory care community and continues to promote wellness and optimal care coordination.

With nearly half of assisted living residents in Tennessee affected by dementia, our community is designed to support their daily success. We create a comforting setting, advocate for preferred activities, protect important routines, provide medical care, honor advance directives, and respect each resident's agency. Our neighborhood-like design features attractive farmhouses, private rooms, and comfortable seating areas to minimize stress and promote personal interactions. This personalized approach is designed to work with every resident who walks through our door, so you can have peace of mind – knowing your loved one is cared for.
