Helping a loved one with dementia and cognitive issues can be emotionally taxing, but making the decision to find a Memory Care Program for your family member is scary. How do you know what makes a program the right choice? What kinds of care and support can you expect for your loved one?
Today we’re sharing a little insight about the Renaissance Memory Support Program at Tamarisk Senior Living and how we welcome new residents to help you know what expect with premium care:
Memory Support Wing
The Renaissance Memory Support Program at Tamarisk Senior Living is designed for seniors with cognitive issues. Our memory care program is located on the ground floor of Tamarisk Senior Living in a specially designed wing with nineteen studio and companion apartments. The Renaissance wing and apartments employ carefully chosen color schemes, lighting, and furniture to create a home-like, cottage-style residence. The wing’s architecture and furnishings are supportive, failure free, and sensory enhancing, creating an environment that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit.
Our team are trained and certified in dementia and Alzheimer’s care by the National Alzheimer’s Association and attend continual training on the most up-to-date best practices on care, safety, socialization, conversation, healthy eating, and more.

Welcoming New Residents
Everyone seeking memory support has different losses and abilities. With that in mind, when welcoming new results, our memory care team first focuses on identifying the needs specific to each new resident.
Prior to move-in, our staff meet with the new resident’s family members to listen to their concerns and feedback. We review the resident’s cognitive issues and medical needs. From these consultations, and more, we develop a personalized care plan, enriched nutrition and dietary program, and support system to help our new resident navigate the transition of moving into a new home and to living each day at Tamarisk Senior Living’s Memory Support Program.
